One was inspired by a passion for French and European history, another by literature and cinema, while the third saw French as a language that opens doors to future studies and professional opportunities. Despite their different motivations, they all share the same curiosity about the French language and the cultures of the French-speaking world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We talk about what it is like to learn French in a Norwegian upper secondary school, the supportive atmosphere within their class, the way they help one another, and the enjoyment of making progress together. August also shares his experience of taking the DELF Junior examination and explains what earning an internationally recognised French diploma has meant to him. Konrad and Trim, meanwhile, discuss how they hope to use French in their future studies and careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The episode also highlights Genevi\u00e8ve Frachon\u2019s approach to teaching. A passionate educator, she constantly looks for new ways to bring French to life beyond the classroom through projects, cultural activities and authentic experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warm and inspiring conversation showing that French is a living, accessible language that opens doors and creates opportunities for young people in Norway today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to this new episode on Spotify, YouTube, Apple podcast and many more!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Hvorfor fransk?
