The Local had really helped me to understand my new home country. It has been vital for navigating French bureaucracy, helpful to pick up french slang and colloquialisms, knowing what is going on with politics and in general what my French neighbors are celebrating or protesting. I really enjoy Talking France and never miss the weekly podcast. Thank you to the Local team - you are all outstanding!
