What we need…
There is a lot we need on this site. More posts, more users, an app… I’m sure the list goes on. What do you think we need? Me I just want to support people on their quest to understand French. Or to keep up the French they know. That’s all I’m doing, staying sharp with mini quizzes. Hopefully, that’s how this is helping you, and that’s really all I need.
If you’re just joining us as a beginner, I recommend you start with the first episode of Balades. Follow along daily for new clips.
How did you find today’s clip compared to yesterday’s clip? I tend to be most comfortable when the clip is around 150wpm. I love Balades for my current level, around A1 (hopefully progressing to A2). Hopefully you’re enjoying these clips too. Even when there’s a fast clip, it’s still manageable. The right amount of challenge. What do you think? Join us for the next quiz.
