Cultivate your French : Slow French, at the right pace.

Laetitia Perraut

Do you want to improve your listening skills and comprehension of the French as it is spoken in France? With Cultivate Your French podcast, things go smoothly. This is slow French podcast, but Slow French doesn’t just mean speaking slowly and it’s not about quick progress. It’s a nice learning approach.

Listen to the last episode:

On Friday, I met up with my friend Anne-Laure for lunch at a cute little restaurant in La Garenne-Colombes. To warm us up, we ordered tea. ‘Let it steep for two minutes’, said the lady in the restaurant. Everything changed when I removed the tea bag. Fortunately, as they say in French, ‘le ridicule ne tue pas’. In the notes accompanying the transcript, we’re going to play around with switching certain sentences from indirect speech to direct speech, because it’s very useful to know how to do that when you’re telling someone something, a little adventure that’s happened to you, for example. We’re also going to identify some pronouns to see how they’re used in the sentences in the episode. It’s a good opportunity to pick up some automatic patterns, both when you’re listening and when you need to express yourself. So if you want to cultivate your French, the Slow Way, I invite you to subscribe. www.cultivateyourfrench.com
