Hear the news in easy French
Every weekday, Radio France Internationale reads ten minutes of world news in slow, simple French, with the full transcript online.
Open today's edition of RFI, Journal en français facile. Listen to the first story without the text, then read the transcript and listen again. Write down three words you heard but did not know, look them up, and sum the story up in one sentence of French.
Headlines are written to be quick, and the same few hundred words come round every day. Skip what you do not know and hold on to what you do.
An example you can adapt
Le premier sujet parlait d'un accident de train en Inde. Sans lire, j'ai compris le sujet ; en lisant, j'ai compris les détails.
The first story was about a train accident in India. Without reading I understood the subject; reading along, I understood the details.
