Through my podcasts, my goal is to help learners make real progress in French — whether that’s through Cooking and Conversation, or my new podcast focused on spoken French and the new GCSE French speaking preparation for 2026.

    Quick French Speaking New GCSE - episode 5

    EPISODE 5 Bonjour et bienvenue sur Lingogite podcast — a short, focused episode to help you practise French speaking for GCSE (AQA & Pearson Edexcel). In about 10 minutes you'll work through three tasks: a read-aloud with pronunciation tips, a In Town roleplay with useful phrases and questions, and a photo description. The episode includes model answers, spontaneous prompts, vocabulary and grammar notes to build accuracy, fluency and confidence for exam-style speaking tasks.   Task 1 - Read Aloud  Je vais bientôt au lycée. C’est difficile de choisir quoi étudier car beaucoup de matières me plaisent. Je pense qu’il faut faire de longues études à l’université si on veut un bon emploi. Plus tard dans la vie, j’aimerais travailler à l’étranger, voyager souvent et gagner un bon salaire. Questions : est-ce que tu voudrais avoir un job d’été ? Qu’est-ce que tu trouves important dans un emploi ?   Task 2 - Role-Play You will need to answer with a sentence, not one-word answer. You are in a TOWN in the south of France with your family and you speak to a passer-by to ask directions: 1) say why you are in France 2) say what you think of the town 3) ask for directions to a place you want to visit 4) say how long you will want to spend there 5) ask about transport options   Task 3 – Photo MY NEIGHBOURHOOD You see a group 8 youngsters walking along a city centre street. There is a mix of boys and girls all wearing winter coats. Along the streets you have various shops. The weather is grey and cloudy.
