SPEAK FRENCH AVEC MOI
About this episode
Learn Real French #3 for beginners - At the café: The ideal way to practice French listening comprehension is to find lots of resources that are in the sweet spot — not too far outside your comfort zone, but JUST difficult enough to be a good challenge.
You want it to be challenging but also doable. Right at the edges of your comfortable zone.

I’ve curated and edited a real audio of a conversation between a young waiter and two women. In this 30 seconds audio, he takes their order as the two women sit together for breakfast. The audio is played at real speed with some music background. I’ll play it three times. The third time is slowed down. Don’t worry if don’t understand everything. The goal is to build your comprehension of real spoken French. You’ll learn new vocabulary in the context but more importantly, you can listen and repeat to tune into the pace and flow of spoken French!
