About me

 

 

is

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

26/11/2009

239 Video extracts

278 Audio extracts
291 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 and slower versions of audio 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.

 

Are you ready for the challenge ?

Challenge your ear with three parody songs from Gerald Dahan

12 November Here are Ségolène Royale and Jean-Marie Le Pen on the psychiatrist's couch

13 November How to deal with terrorists ? Plus Belle la Vie will explain all !

14 November I'm going to change the format for films. Choosing film extracts for the the different levels is just too hard, frankly. Instead, I'll file them under 'People' with some words on the actors involved. So here is Le boulet

16 November A new comic, a completely clear voice, and a very, very funny sketch. Ari Abbitan
                        The other side of the cultural divide. Dénis Podalydès talking about l'Avare

17 November An extract from a very odd series Le bal du siècle. Charles de Beistegui

18 November Now a sparkling interview - super listening practice - with Florence Foresti and two other women comics

19 November A classic sketch from Guy Bedos and Sophie Daumier La Drague

20 November What better for the weekend than a selection of gros mots ?

25 November And a superb listening exercise from Dany Boon. His film La maison du bonheur.
