Listen to French at natural speed

Français Authentique is a free podcast by Johan, who talks to learners about language and life in natural, unhurried French.

Choose an episode of Français Authentique on a subject you like and listen to the first ten minutes without stopping. Then write two or three sentences in French: what the episode was about, one thing you learned and a question you would ask Johan. Post it under the episode or keep it in your notebook.

You will not catch every word, and nobody does at first. Catching the topic and a handful of words you know is the whole win.

An example you can adapt

J'ai écouté l'épisode sur la peur de parler. Johan dit qu'il faut accepter de faire des fautes. Je suis d'accord, mais ce n'est pas facile !

I listened to the episode about being afraid to speak. Johan says you have to accept making mistakes. I agree, but it is not easy!
