Elizabeth Hall - a Californian who once had a French flag flying outside her LA home - joins I am French to discuss how life has changed since moving to Paris two years ago with her husband and daughter.
We talk about
- her struggle to learn French,
- how her daughter is her translator and with this dynamic how her role as a mother has changed.
- the differences between LA and Paris.
- her reflections on being American - this episode was recorded before the US election.
- race and her experiences as a black foreigner in Paris.
- how she navigates the culture change and learns French customs.
- Oh and also WW2 because whilst Elizabeth is very colourful and positive she’s also fascinated with that particular time in history.
I am French is hosted by Karen French (yup, that’s my real surname)
