L’été de Comme une Française – Comprehension

Salut,

Last week, we explored how to improve your French vocabulary.

Today, you’ll discover great ways to improve your comprehension with great resources to help you understand French better: written and spoken French.

C’est parti !

To make the most out of today’s post, I’d recommend you watch or read ONE video or post every day.
And write down one (just one) new word or expression you’ve discovered or re-discovered.
Regularity is the best way to learn French.

  • Thank you, Geraldine, for such rich resources. I had never heard of any of the blogs or online humor.
    This is the word I learned today: trancher!
    Chaque français aura sa propre petite région à lui tout seul, qu’il pourra administrer comme bon lui semble, a tranché ce matin le gouvernement.
    Trancher. settle, cut , sever, chop, slice through, arbitrate, take a decision

    Merci milles fois, Aria

  • Je connasais Norman et Cyprien… c’est genial pour s’habituer à la maniere vite de parler des parisiens

  • J’adore ces bandes-desinées de Marion Montaigne! Grâce à son histoire de 23 juin, j’ai appris beacoup de nouvelle vocabulaire qui s’agit des baleines. Maintenant je dois trouver une façon d’utiliser ces mots — je n’ai pas beaucoup de conversations au sujet des baleines, normalement.

  • Moi, j’adore les policiers. Chaque apres midi je regarde un emission commes ‘femme d’honeur’ ou ‘femmes de loi’ et j’ai apris une nouvelle vocabulaire comme: meutrier; commissaire; avouer; flic; mec; etc. J’explique a mon mari que c’est pour apprendre le francais.

    • Génial. Si tu aimes les policiers, je te conseille la série Braquo que tu peux acheter en DVD.
      Tu vas apprendre un autre type de vocabulaire !
