Learning French as an Expat: Immersion, Culture, Confidence & Real Life in France - Patricia Pedditzi - Radio Cut

What does learning French really involve when you live in France and want to feel comfortable in everyday life? In this episode, Cecile Liconnet talks with Patricia Pedditzi, a Riviera-based French teacher who works through immersion, real situations, and cultural context rather than classroom methods. Her experience comes from years spent living abroad herself and from helping expats navigate daily life in France, from simple conversations to more complex interactions. The conversation also opens up a less visible side of life on the Riviera: how people in France, can access support when they want to change direction professionally. From business incubators to practical guidance, this episode offers insight into the structures that exist and how they can be used when starting something new later in life. A grounded discussion about language, integration, and building a professional path that fits real life in France. This is the 28-minute radio edition. The full-length conversation is available on the Living the Dream main podcast channel.
