Real Life French - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is one of the best podcasts for tuning your ear to fast spoken French! Listening to the short dialogue twice, receiving an explanation in slower spoken French and then listening a third time is a perfect miniature lesson to begin the process of understanding conversational French, making it past the intermediate plateau and picking up some great current colloquialisms along the way. Having gotten frustrated with long format TV series, movies and podcasts where it is easy to get lost, this is perfect for spending a daily six minutes and making real progress! Well done

Great resource with the sample conversation and explanation entirely in French. This is a very useful resource, especially for intermediate learners.

It’s short and sweet but it’s a great format to improve comprehension and get accustomed to everyday, conversational French. The topics are current, diverse and interesting. I love the humor, too. Overall, just a fantastic podcast.

Five stars. I discovered this podcast only a couple of months ago and it has already helped me considerably in developing my listening skills and learning more day-to-day vocabulary/expressions. At the intermediate level, it can feel like progress is so painfully slow; news podcasts and those discussing topics in-depth are interesting and very useful, but this podcast really fills in the gap in terms of ordinary everyday speech in short, simple, real-life situations. It’s just enough information for me to work with in 10-30 minutes each day, which is the perfect way to round-out my learning. Merci!
