The move to Flash video (Click to show or hide)
December 2011 I'm changing to Flash Video files.
This is to allow you to have the choice between
a) downloading the video file and the subtitle file separately to play on your PC or
b) watching the video in your browser, with the ability to switch the subtitles on or off, and to go full screen.
If you download the Flash video file, it will have an extension of .flv. ALPlayer, GOMPlayer etc will still play it, and will display the subtitles. You may have to right-click and use Open With if .flv is tied to Adobe Flash player or some other video reader.
If you have any difficulties, do not hesitate to drop me a mail on

If you are a teacher, and you make
your own transcriptions of YouTube videos for your students (or
if you are a student and you make transcriptions for practice)
why not share them ? Email the link with the transcription
attached to
admin@sonsenfrancais.org.
Don't worry, if you're a student, and you know the transcription
is a bit wobbly - it can be tidied up.
And finally, if there's a French YouTube video that you would
like to see subtitled on the site and you haven't got a
transcription - send it along and I'll see what I can do
The great advantage for the site is we'll get fresh ideas, a new
look at listening to French - and that is always necessary |
Second day of the C Politique series and the
philosopher Alain Finkielkraut talks about the school house being turned into a
mosque and rubbish bins burning in the road. The debate warms up ....

May, and here is a clip from Cyprien,
who can be found on
YouTube. Here he is talking about our strange fascination with
coffee percolators. Le Café.
The third of our C politique series,
and to note that today is the day of the debate between the two candidates in
the French presidential election. Let's hope they say something interesting.
And on 3rd May, here is the fourth episode of
the C Politique debate, and it's a sparkler

If you're not British you probably
won't know about the famous battles of the Mods and
Rockers in 1964. According to Arte Télévision it was
the start of the '60s music revolution in my country. A super documentary.
As an experiment, here is a page for French YouTube
videos to which I have added subtitles. Experimental because the videos
have to pass through another server to pick up the subtitles, and performance
may not be great. These won't be scheduled posts - I'll slide them in as I
find them. Send me the YouTube link if you find a
good one and would like it subtitled !

The French are famously
hypochondriac.. but they are not the only ones. We all enjoy watching
warnings about what we eat and drink, as here in
Poison dans les robinets.
And a YouTube from France's enfant terrible, Max Boublil,
J'aime les moches...
