Listen and repeat

Test your French by listening to random times.

How to use these listening exercises

  1. The sound files are MP3s and you can either listen to them online or save them to your computer for later. If you don’t know how to do this or can’t hear anything, please read help with sound files.
  2. Click “listen.” You can either listen and repeat the numbers or else practice writing them in French, in English, or as digits.
  3. In French, times are written with h instead of : for example 10h30learn more.
  4. After listening to the sound files, click “reveal” to check what you heard.
  5. You can listen as many times as you like.

    These are really fantastic! I can not find anything so good elsewhere on the internet. Please, please put more of the same up so that my practice can be more thorough! More random combinations and (faster!) with answers!
