Question
Where to listen the very first episode?pls help! much appreciated!
I can’t live without this pod!
So glad that this pod continues to updatr
Excellent for short and sweet basic listening practice
I read French pretty well but I struggle to follow the spoken language.
This podcast is perfect for quick, bite-sized pieces of practice in listening. It’s just one or two sentences. At first sometimes I can understand it, sometimes I can’t. But the he walks through the sentence one word at a time, and by the end it’s clear as a bell.
