RFI Podcast 'Ma Vie Ma Langue' Episode 10: Fleur Learns Greek for Love
In the latest episode of RFI's podcast series 'Ma vie ma langue,' released on 18 September 2026, Fleur, a French student who has been studying Greek at Inalco for three years, recounts her experiences. Her fascination with ancient Greece and its mythology led her to initially pursue archaeology, even though she had no Greek heritage or language proficiency. Her bond with Greece strengthened when she reconnected with her partner, Georges-François, a Franco-Greek individual. Motivated by him, she began learning the Greek alphabet in secret and transitioned to Greek studies. Despite the difficulties with pronunciation, she aspires to comprehend his culture and family. Fleur envisions opening a bookshop on Euboea, while her partner dreams of launching a rap media outlet. The podcast features episodes on various languages across multiple platforms.
