Welcome to episode one, the beginning of this Forked Tongues journey through France.
In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with a good friend, Peter Jordan, a multi-talented Irishman who's been living in Poitiers, France for 19 years now.
Join us for an in-depth discussion of what it's like to be a foreigner living in France. We'll be talking about everything from our first impressions of the country to learning the language; from French culture (French music, and French singers singing in English, memorable movies, and of course French food) to the experience of owning and running an authentic Irish pub in France. As well as many other things along the way.
So whether you're searching for ideas on how to improve your French, or just keen to know more about what life in France today is really like, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for - and more! - on Forked Tongues.
I hope you enjoy this first episode.
Thanks for listening!

P.S. Unfortunately the audio quality of the interview is not as good as I would like it to be. As I said at the top, this is the beginning of a journey - and a real learning experience for me - so I hope you'll forgive me. I'll endeavour to do better in future episodes!
