Over the years, ‘Mad’ (short for Madmoizelle) has gained popularity and offers a huge diversity of subjects!
Indeed, if you ever feel curious about a topic, whether it’s something that is happening in your life, or something you’re interested in and would like to know more about it, you can always look at the website and find lots of responses to your questions!
This magazine can inform you about some serious issues within society, such as rape culture and bodyshaming, but it can also make you laugh, with articles such as ‘Les trouvailles d’Internet pour bien commencer la semaine.’ You can also find ‘10 raisons de se réjouir du retour de l’Automne,’ ‘Les sorties Netflix du mois d’Octobre,’ and even ‘la procrastination ça a (parfois) du bon!.’ These are just three titles among hundreds of articles! But just reading articles would be too easy! In fact, Madmoizelle is also on Youtube, with over 644k subscribers. Many editors of the website have also created their own personal channel. So, if you are interested in make-up, you could check out Manu – Madmoizelle; if you want some tips on your daily-life and want to have a good laugh, I would definitely recommend Charlie – Madmoizelle; or if you have questions about sexuality, you could watch Queen Camille - Madmoizelle’s videos Madmoizelle has around 25 editors, each having their own area of specialism, and after reading their work a few times, you’ll feel like you know them. theuoblinguist.co.uk
Of course, if you don’t feel like reading articles or watching videos, you can just listen to the podcasts on the magazine’s website or podcast app, in which case you should listen to ‘Laisse-moi kiffer’, a podcast hosted by four editors of Mademoiselle. You can really find something that resonates with your ideas and links to your own life experiences. In fact, the many readers of Mad’ have created a whole community, in which they can exchange their ideas about various topics and questions and meet other like-minded people.
I really recommend looking at Madmoizelle as I think it is a good way to improve your French; the articles, videos and podcasts can greatly improve your reading and listening comprehension. Moreover, the topics are quite easy to understand as they are mostly about everyday life so you won’t struggle with the vocabulary.
By the way, Madmoizelle is sometimes called a ‘feminist magazine,’ but guys are more than welcome to discover its content as well! For example, the editor Mymy created, for the first time in December 2017, a new podcast entitled ‘The Boys Club’, in which a man is interviewed fortnightly about the way he sees masculinity.
So, grab your softest blanket, prepare some hot chocolate, make yourself comfortable and come discover the world of madmoizelle.com!
