    E110 - My Multicultural Family | Intermediate French Podcast (B1-B2)

    16/09/2026 | 14 mins.
    My Multicultural Family: Mission Impossible?

    In this very personal episode, I share my experience as a Frenchman who has been living in Spain for more than 11 years, married to a Peruvian woman and the father of a little girl born in Barcelona.

    How do you build a family when everyone comes from a different culture? And, more importantly, is it really possible?

    Through my story, we'll explore bilingualism, cultural differences, passing on a language and culture, identity, and integration.

    Enjoy the episode!

    Ma famille multiculturelle : mission impossible ?

    Dans cet épisode très personnel, je te raconte mon expérience de Français installé en Espagne depuis plus de 11 ans, marié à une Péruvienne et père d'une petite fille née à Barcelone.

    Comment construire une famille quand chacun vient d'une culture différente ? Et surtout est-ce possible ?

    À travers mon histoire, nous parlerons de bilinguisme, de différences culturelles, de transmission, d'identité et d'intégration.

    Bonne écoute !
