What are you hoping to notice today? 
Come here with one listening aim. Bank the wins and discover what you already recognise.

  •  I know these words. I want to catch more of them.

  •  French sounds too fast and I lose track.

  •  I want to see how much I can understand without translating

  •  I keep hearing the same word and want more examples.

  • I want to hear this month's 907 word in real life.

French starts to feel easier when familiar words become easier to hear.

SCROLL TO LISTEN

Coming here little and often with a specific listening intention will steadily increase this conversation essential.
Expecting to understand words or pronunciation patterns you haven't yet mastered is perhaps a little unrealistic. Be kind to yourself and set a fair goal each time you listen.

Understanding spoken French is at least 50% of a conversation!

It's best approached with clear expectations and some kindness to yourself:
