    PAR CŒUR — French by Heart is a French learning podcast inspired by the art of oral learning traditions, designed to improve listening comprehension, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary through structured listening, repetition, and spoken rhythm.


    • French vocabulary you remember.

    • French grammar you don’t forget.

    • French pronunciation that stays.

    • French you keep in your heart.


    Hosted by Léa Tirard-Hersant, a pioneer of online French teaching since 2013 and founder of www.Leacafe.org and the Staircase® learning method, the podcast reflects a long-standing commitment to deep, human-centered language learning. Just as Léa was among the first to build serious French-learning experiences online, she is now among the first French teachers to enrich her teaching with generated voices, thoughtfully crafted using ElevenLabs, to expand learners’ exposure to spoken French.

    These additional masculine and feminine voices, along with varied accents, complement the host’s voice and offer learners precise vocal models to imitate. As in music and song, pronunciation is learned through listening and vocal mirroring — hearing different voices, matching their rhythm, and gradually making the sound one’s own.


    One step at a time, French by heart.


    Each episode focuses on deep learning rather than accumulation:

    • one essential French expression or idiom

    • one grammar structure (verb patterns, prepositions, or tricky verbs like manquer)

    • one French sound or pronunciation challenge (nasal vowels, liaison, or the famous French R)

    All elements are repeated through guided listening and drills until they become yours.


    This is where French moves from ear to memory.
