About me

 

 

is

the biggest resource on the web of TV and film extracts for the student of French !

10/03/2010

374 Video extracts

310 Audio extracts
383 Transcriptions

 

 


This site does the same as magazines you may have already used to learn to listen to French -
Champs Elysées,  Authentik en français, Le français dans le monde. They all provide a CD with accompanying text so you can listen, then correct yourself by reading the text.

 

However, there are no audio magazines produced beyond the level of Le français dans le monde, and all these magazines are audio only - no video. That is the gap that this site aims to fill. It takes listening practise beyond the level of the existing magazines, and it offers video

 

And it's free !

If you find the extracts here rather hard, spend some time with our sister site, listentofrench.org, where subtitles in French are also offered. And good luck !


You need to install the DivX codec to allow your video software to play the clips on this site. Download it here

I use ALShow to play video clips. It supports bookmarks and allows you to replay the last few seconds.

Use Winamp to play mp3.  It allows you to replay the last few seconds.

  If you want to get automatic updates from this site each day, why not try Vidcast ?

01  March   I always like finding theatre shows by Chevallier and Laspalès. Very funny, and very clear. Here is Déviation obligatoire.

02  March   La folie des années '90 showed us the other face of France. La France d'en-bas, Raffarin called it. The France that watches exactly the same crap television as the rest of the world. Excellent programme, though

03  March   We follow the bright young people who are training to become magistrats in L'école de la magistrature

04  March   In La chauve-souris enragée, Jean-Marie Bigard evokes the possibility of being bitten by one.

05  March   Here is a documentary on the diamond business. A good exercise, because many difficult passages

06  March   A documentary on Jacques Prévert. Difficult but worth the effort.

07  March   Into the world of seriously clever people. Jean-Pierre Elkkabach interviews Loràn Deutsch

08  March   One of the history channels screened a short documentary on the making of Rafle. This you have to see....

09  March   Let's just remind ourselves just how hard a modern French film can be to follow, Folie douce with Muriel Robin

10  March   Very unusually, a stage play that makes a rather easy listening exercise. Hygiène de l'assassin by Amélie Nothomb.
