First Listening Practice (A1)
Short, slow, everyday recordings to start understanding spoken French.
Your first listening course. People introduce themselves, order in a café, ask their way: short recordings by native voices, with questions in your own language. You learn to catch the anchor words instead of trying to understand everything, and to hear the difference between close numbers and directions.
