Bonjour à tous and welcome to Easy French Poetry where I read some of the most Classic French Poems. I will read them twice: once slowly - so you may repeat after me - and once at a more natural reading pace. I will sometimes also talk about the life of the author, explain the vocabulary or do an analysis of the text using simple, everyday French. You will find the full text of the poems accompanied by the audio on my website FrenchToday.com as well as much more audio material such as The Easy French Poetry Readings and Analysis series, Classic French Tales, French Verb Drills, reachable audio novels...

"Dans la Forêt Sans Heures" de Jules Supervielle

"Les Colchiques" de Guillaume Appollinaire
Poète et théoricien de l'Esprit nouveau, ses oeuvres annoncent déjà surréalisme. Dans ce poème, la femme est associée à une fleur des champs, la colchique. Mais la colchique est vénéneuse, c'est donc un poison...

Customer Reviews
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!! <3
I just started learning French not long ago, and this podcast caught my eye: the beauty of poem, and the careful interpretation with the targeted audience (French beginner) in mind get mixed wonderfully. Thank you!
Please skip explanation in the beginning
Everything is perfect except I have to skip over the explanation in the beginning which is annoying.
Wonderful Learning Tool
As a student trying hard to learn how to not only pass tests but actually understand the language, it is incredibly difficult to find listening exercises geared towards the intermediate student. There are plenty of things for advanced students, but it is discouraging to listen only to those since I can't understand much of them anyway! These podcasts provide a way for me to build listening skills and confidence with something that is slightly challenging yet not wholly beyond my grasp!
