Zero Effort

Zero Effort

Coline & Alex

This is the podcast we never had and probably the reason why one of us still doesn’t speak German and the other one never really learned French. We’re a German–French duo who spend a lot of time talking about words. Not to teach vocabulary, but to understand what’s actually going on underneath.


This is not a language course.

And definitely not a “how to behave” guide.


It’s about:

  • why things feel different in Germany and France
  • what we secretly admire (and don’t understand) about each others culture
  • work culture, daily life, and unspoken rules
  • and laughing at ourselves instead of taking everything too seriously

If you’re living between cultures, working in Germany, curious about France, or just enjoy honest conversations with a bit of humor and self-irony — you’re in the right place.
