Bienvenue !
In this French learning episode, you’ll explore the use of the verb "manquer", as in:
Manquer son bus.
Manquer son avion.
Manquer une information.
Manquer un appel.
Manquer sa cible.

Different situations, same structure: manquer + direct object.

• manquer un appel, un message ou une information
• manquer une cible, un but ou un panier

À PROPOS ✦ ABOUT
Hosted by Léa Tirard-Hersant, French tutor and founder of Leacafe and the Staircase® learning method, this podcast helps learners retain French through carefully designed repetition, listening drills, storytelling, and spoken rhythm.
Rather than overwhelming you with rules, each episode takes one small step at a time:
- une expression essentielle
- une structure grammaticale
- un son ou une difficulté de prononciation
On écoute. On répète. On reconnaît. Et, peu à peu, le français devient familier.
If you believe language is learned par cœur — by heart, not by endless scrolling — this podcast is for you.
