News in Slow French

Podcast for French Learners

News in Slow FrenchNews in Slow French is a weekly podcast with resources for French students of all levels. Native speakers report current events at a reduced but not unnatural pace, making it easier for you to understand without being overloaded by rapid-fire French. You also have the option to hear the same person reciting the news at a normal speed, so that you can truly practice and improve at your own pace.

After the news item, two reporters chat about it to further improve your understanding and offer additional information. The complete transcript is provided with potentially difficult words highlighted – hover to see the translation. There are also grammar and expressions lessons.
