audiobooks in French


Recommended Posts

Jane, you might try listening to Jane Austen in French, or something else you know well that is translated from English. If it is translated from English, I find I can correlate the French with the English better and it helps me to learn the nuances of the French. You may not be at the nuances stage, but I find that listening to a favourite chapter of Emma or something over and over means I understand more and more of it each time. I am happy when I get to the point where I can pick a word that I don't know out of a sentence, rather than just getting the general gist but not being sure how. A few years ago, all I could pick out were the little words LOL. It would sound like: The blank went to blank and blank blank under the blank but then when blank said no blank, blank blank. It was most discouraging. I persisted, though, and now I can understand much of a movie or a story. You just have to keep listening, and keep reading with a dictionary to build up your vocabulary.
