      Please! We don't need the English audio part! The written translation is enough!

    What helped me greatly with my listening skills in French or any other language (I don't know if it's well known or not) is the exercise, where you pause and re-play the phrase as many times as needed in order to write the sentence to the best of your abilities. Then you will see the sentence itself and you correct your version (and can even rate yourself from 1-10 to motivate yourself). You will eventually get so much better because you will recognize the particular words better since you already heard them couple of times. This exercise just helps you with your concentration I guess.

    Wow I have been doing French for a year, and this opens my eyes to how bad I actually am. could barely keep up with what he was saying, my listening skills are my weakest point in learning another language

    this is really great thank you only one thing that is odd. the man's voice in French is soft and very easy to follow - thank you so much. however the woman's voice in English is quite loud and shrill - it hurts my ears to listen to the female voice.

    This aural/visual teaching style is truly effective. The college classes I had were a waste of time as no one could even form his/her own french sentence even after a year.

    This is a fantastic resource. Much appreciated. Students of French may wish to note that many of the phrases here use the passé simple. This is actually used very rarely in spoken French, so these recordings may be more suited to people moving to levels c1/2.

    This is definitely an excellent tool to practice listening skills, but even for someone like myself who has reached intermediate level, I found it quite challenging. Imagine a French native speaking way much faster during conversations, it would be quite impossible to understand. I think it would be much better to choose phrases or conversations pertaining to everyday life, like dining in restaurants, shopping, travelling etc because that’s what most people need if they travel to a French speaking country for leisure. I appreciate very much for your efforts though.........

    Mi reconocimiento y gratitud a todos los que hacen posible, que sus lecciones de francés e ingles llegue a a todas las personas interesadas en aprender ambos idiomas, No entiendo porque permanece mas tiempo en el monitor la palabra "Listen" que los diálogos, para el alumno, es necesario que permanezca mas tiempo el diálogo, a fin de poder leer ambos idiomas.

    For me it would have been great if you could have a few seconds to observe the text before he pronounces it again with the text.
    Or would be good to have a few seconds to look at the text in the end.
