Customer Reviews
Good
This podcast is great for intermediates. Beginners should go and learn basic verbs/conjugations first, etc. (I recommend Duolingo as a place to start).
I’m not sure here but I assume there are no transcripts for these lessons? I play the episodes in half-speed as I’m still learning how to detect subtle phonetic differences between words but then I hear words that I don’t recognise.
As someone who is still only intermediate, I find it difficult to estimate how some words are spelt based on how they’re pronounced, so at times, I’m left not knowing the word and how to research it. I feel like a transcript or a glossary would really help!
En tout cas, good podcasts!
University homework
I subscribed to this podcast about 2 years ago and recommend pre-paying for a pack of their pdfs so that you can download the sheets with vocab that suit your level. I recommend LFBP to my students studying French at Plymouth University. Certain episodes are perfect as homework activities in preparation for the Listening Exam at the end of term.
Excellent
Great learning resource.
