Finally understand fast spoken French with
«Les Aventures de Mike & Elisa »
Sounds familiar?
It’s normal and it’s something that happened to many of my students.
A friend of mine came to visit me in France for a weekend
Between us, we spoke French all the time because he had a very good level.
But when he arrived in
France, he was shocked 😱
He tried to order a coffee at the restaurant but couldn't understand anything the waiter told him.
Why?
Because in real life people speak faster.
They use idioms, they use words and expressions that are not taught in French courses.
As a non-native speaker, of course, you can’t understand.
And it’s not your fault.
These are expressions that you can only learn when you are in immersion in the country.
So I asked myself the following question:
How do we change that without being immersed in France?
Last time, I was having a coffee with my friend Loïc Suberville and told him about this HUGE problem that students are facing.
The problem is not that you don’t understand them, but that your hearing is not used to it.
Meaning that, when you’ll be in France, you’ll need a month to perfectly understand what French people are saying.
But we don’t all have time or the opportunity to travel to learn a language.
That’s when Loïc came up with an AMAZING idea ✨
We're taking you to France with us, so that you can start understanding real-world words even if French people speak very fast.
I found the audio files increasingly more challenging, which kept up my interest. I could understand a lot by context clues.
It definitely helped my comprehension skills, but it also made me realize how much further I have to go.
