Learn French B1+ | Today's News, Slowed for Intermediate Learners

by LinguaWire

Learn French with real news, every morning. Daily episodes in clear French at B1 and above, spoken more slowly than everyday speech, with a free full transcript and English translation for every line. Read today's transcript: https://linguawire.com/learn/french WHAT YOU GET A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's news, at a steadier pace than native conversation, with the vocabulary the news actually uses. Every episode has its own page with the full French transcript, the English translation beside it, the day's vocabulary, one grammar point and a short quiz. No account needed to read. WHY NEWS WORKS BETTER THAN EXERCISES You already know what happened today. That means your attention goes to the French instead of to the story. At this level that is what moves you from understanding lessons to understanding real reporting. WHO B1+ IS FOR You can hold a conversation and you want the vocabulary that real reporting uses. The pace here is still slower than everyday speech, so speed never gets in the way of the words. This is the level where most learners stall, and daily contact with real news is the thing that gets them through it. NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL? About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show you what to work on next: https://linguawire.com/assessment An intermediate French podcast for people who can already read a headline and want to hear one. MORE FROM LINGUAWIRE Daily French class: https://linguawire.com/class/french The language guide: https://linguawire.com/guide Every language and level: https://linguawire.com/podcasts Also in Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and English. If today's episode helped, please follow the show. It is the single thing that helps other French learners find us. Note: LinguaWire podcasts use AI support for translation and multi-language recording, with native-speaker scripting and supervision. Hébergé par Acast.
