So happy to have found this! I have studied french for a few years and while I read it quite well, I continue to struggle with listening comprehension. I was feeling very frustrated by this. Listening and understanding real news, spoken by native french speakers, is very empowering. I feel confident that this will be great practice for me with a goal of understanding normal (fast) paced spoken french.
If you want to learn a language it’s always good to hear how it sounds, plus you get to listen to the news and catch up on current events from all around the world. It has really helped my own French comprehension. When I first started listening it was a bit hard, but now I can understand most of what they’re saying! Thank you so much!
These are so helpful! Perfect vocabulary level and speed for a French learner trying to improve comprehension skills.
I want to learn French but it seems like when people learn a language mostly through written content, their pronunciation suffers because they try to pronounce the words as they would sound in their native language. I’m so glad I found this podcast! I’ve barely studied any French and I already understand a good amount, and I’m learning the words as they sound rather than how they’re spelled. :)
Quel malheur! This podcast was great when you actually got to hear one news story and one commentary. Unfortunately, they truncated the podcast to just the introductory segment earlier this year. I can only suppose this was an effort to drive more business to the paid subscription full-length podcast. While this shorter format has some value, you just don’t get the practice in <3 minutes of French that this podcast used to provide with about ~7 minutes of a news story and an associated commentary (even if the commentary was always biased in one political direction). I credited this podcast with helping me raise my listening comprehension in French. I’ll be looking for another podcast now to help me maintain my skill.
It is as the other recent reviews have stated. Used to have at least one story, but now has hardly any content. It seems that now over half of the audio is the introduction and the outro, with about a minute of new French content in the middle, where they tell you what they will discuss if you pay for it. It is a shame. If I ever had considered paying for this service, that time is over. Unsubscribing.
