About this listen
As Intermediates, you might want to get SmartFrench Course #2 on Audible. It will train you to catch at sight all the contractions the French use when they speak. You will read the way the French speak French with each other.
In all our French language lessons, we use a color-coding system to help you hear the contractions right away at the beginning of your French learning course. No other program offers this invaluable technique. If you can't speak French after years of French classes, that's the reason.
The horse, in French, is "Le cheval". Would you like to be taught to say: "luh shuhvahl", as taught by most products listed (which is correct only when you read), or "luhsh fahl", the way it will sound in the middle of a conversation between two French people, and the way SmartFrench teaches? This difference is true for most words.
Learning French requests that you learn to speak French and that you learn to understand it. At your intermediate level, you need to gain some speed when you listen as well as when you speak. Often, the speed comes from the correct use of the contractions.
If you enter a conversation in French with no training to listen to it, you will not be able to get what is coming back to you. Then your French studies will be worth nothing. On the other hand, even if you feel hesitant to speak French, you can have a conversation saying just “yes” or “no”, as long as you understand the other person. That’s why developing listening skills is so important. With SmartFrench you will develop two-way conversation skills. Learn smart French.
You will repeat French a lot. That's what you do when you really want to learn French and speak it fluently. This is a step-by-step approach to the French language, the best lessons you can add to your French classes. First, you read the translation and you leave it aside. Then, if you order from Audible, you will hear the conversation without the transcript. Then you will repeat a few syllables at a time without reading, just listening. The step is not to translate. To make sure you only focus on pronunciation, I cut the segments anywhere, sometimes in the middle of a word. In the next step, you will look at the text and repeat while you see. Then you will repeat again and I will give you some instructions. In the end, on Audible, you will hear the real recorded conversation. After a few times going through the different dialogues, you will be able to imitate our guests when they speak French.
"We learn through imitation." (The Crown—Season 3, Episode 6).
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.

Edmond Dantès se retrouve prisonnier au château d'If. Qui veut lui nuire ? Pourquoi ?

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Story
In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One - the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about - without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Story
Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the French language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning French is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

If you enter a conversation in French with no training to listen to it, you will not be able to get what is coming back to you. Then your French studies will be worth nothing. On the other hand, even if you feel hesitant to speak French, you can have a conversation saying just “yes” or “no”, as long as you understand the other person. That’s why developing listening skills is so important. With SmartFrench you will develop two-way conversation skills. Learn smart French.

If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.
