To our circle of French Story Listeners,
Something wonderful happened on Telegram this week, and I didn’t want you to miss it.
Francine, our dear member from the Netherlands, responded to the Teen Progress question:

To our circle of French Story Listeners,
I’ve been reading a book this week called How to Take Smart Notes by Sönke Ahrens, and one line stopped me mid-page.
He writes that we tend to think we understand what we read — until we try to put it into our own words.
To our circle of French Story Listeners,
A little earlier than usual this week as I’m heading off to Elche, Spain, for a Touch Football tournament! But before I lace up my boots, I didn’t want to leave you without your weekly dose of French.
So here we are.
Dear French Story Listeners,
Every Saturday, I bring you a new French story.
One you can truly settle into, no memorisation required.
Just your ears, your imagination, and a tale that carries you somewhere beautiful.
This week’s story is Le vase au fond du lac,
To our circle of French Story Listeners,
I’ve been thinking about you this week as I prepared this story, and I really think this one is special.
It’s quiet, a little mysterious, and it carries something I can’t quite put into words. Which is perhaps the whole point.
Dear French Story Listeners,
There’s a beautiful idea from the medieval world that I keep coming back to.
The medieval mind didn’t see the cosmos as silent. Philosophers believed that as the planets rotated, they created a kind of intellectual music, a celestial harmony humming through all of creation.
