- Every
month you receive an issue by e-mail.
The lesson consists of a text and a conversation
recorded at regular and slow speed, full transcript,
translation into English, exercises and games
with answer keys to develop your listening skills,
vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and grammar.
You may download the lesson to study off-line.
In each
issue there are:
- Recordings
at slow and regular speed of a short text
and a real-life
conversation between two or three people,
their full transcript and translation,
in addition to games and exercises.
- An
off-line version to download
if you wish to listen to the recordings and
do the activities off-line.
- Activities
(one or two hours of study, depending on
your level in French):
- Listen
to the recording, choosing between slow
and regular speed. Play and pause to
repeat after the speakers to improve
your pronunciation.
- Do the
first listening comprehension exercise
("Mais qu'est-ce qu'ils disent ?"
= What are they talking about?)
- Study
new vocabulary with the transcript and the
translation where the vocabulary is highlighted.
The transcript reproduces exactly what the
speakers say in real-life spoken French.
Spoken French is different from written
French (and is hardly taught in most textbooks).
Studying
spoken French will greatly improve your
listening comprehension skills.
The
equivalent in written or formal French is
given.
- To improve
your listening comprehension, as well as
your spelling and grammar, do a gap fill
exercise.
- Each
"Gazette"
offers a grammar review and a grammar exercise.
- Play
with "Mots croisés": crossword
to review key words.
- Finally,
follow the links for further readings on
the Internet.
