I'm French and there's no way this is for absolute beginners. Upper beginners is more like it.
Thank you, I was under the impression I was a beginner... I was starting to feel like a complete loser.
It depends on the definition of "absolute" beginner I think. I'm doing this currently after roughly 5-6 hours of learning in total and it's going quite well.
thank you
Unfortunately, most of these programs don't understand what level "beginner" actually is. A lot of this vocabulary definite'y isn't "beginner-level."
man you have to try the japanese one...
I appreciate the videos. My one request is that you would equalize the volume: I have to turn it up to hear the French conversations, then Gabrielle comes on in English and I’m practically knocked out of my chair! 😀
true
She scared the crap out of me.
This is for beginners? OMG, it's hard!
Andrian Harsono not for beginners, but for absolute beginners. :d
Surely not ;_;
I think the point of it is for absolute beginners to be able to cherry-pick necessary information out of a conversation they don't fully understand. For the first exercise, for example, you really only need to know "livre" and "voiture"; you don't have to know what "jeter un [coup d']oeil" means, at this point; it's just background noise.
im french (dont ask how i got here lol) and even though the dialogue is really short I think the verb "jeter un oeil" is not a common verb you would first learn as a begginer..
they’re speaking pretty slow here haha
I've been learning french for a while now (I'm not an absolute begginer) and this fits perfectly to me. I don't think this is easy enough for someone who just started
yeah I'm getting these with some difficulty in French 3
Lol
For a while meaning?
Even though it`s for abosulte beginners, I still need to learn a lot of vocab.
Darn I learned French for 4 years and I can understand Japanese better which I started a few weeks ago lol
Sniper Hawk maybe because you enjoy learning Japanese more than French?
Junior Quinones Well, I figured out that I can solve B2 level grammar exercises, and can hardly understand A2 listening comprehensions 😂😂 It's not that I don't enjoy French, its just that I've hardly listened to French before...I'm beginning to enjoy both French and German :-) Hopefully, if I get used to listening to French, I'll be able to do it... :-)
Sniper Hawk aww goood! My bad understating.
Because Japanese has an easy listening difficult, French is hard even for me and I'm Italian, so I live near France and the language is similar.
Uh....
I'm learning French for a year now and l'm suprised how l actually understand more than l though l would. So proud of myself! If you want to learn certain language just listen to it often and you will start to understand it slowly. I did that with French and it helped.
Do you have any recommendations about what to listen to? ty
Wow I remember this used to be hard. Now it sounds like they're talking in slow motion
Khaliq Tankard you're so lucky!!
soumya e I wouldn’t say nice. I just practiced hard and it paid off
Khaliq Tankard What did you do to practice?
Ocean Anderson Well I like a lot of french music. So what I did was listen to a lot of french music and Pair the words with the written lyrics. I also searched the words I didn’t know. But basically I watch french media with “sous-titres” subtitles or I listen to french music while looking at the lyrics. It’s a very easy way to learn. After I gained fluency I moved to France. You’ll learn very quick that listening is the most important part of this language. I used to have a full vocabulary but couldn’t under this video when I first tried watching. Now this video is dramatically slow. Almost like a joke.
Khaliq Tankard wow mind if i ask how long that took? Im a beginner but i want to pass B2 before i move to france!
This is not, per se difficult, but, for beginners, this is more to try and piece together what they are saying for further understanding. No beginners could do this well, and understand with certain vocabulary and speed they speak at in certain places. Nonetheless, it is still an ok exercise for someone more advanced or as extra practice. Solving the questions are easy but to fully understand is more difficult for a new language learner.
Damn. On the last month, I tried this test. I thought it was really fast. Yesterday, I talked (tried to) with a French guy: IT IS WAY FASTER AND HARDER. Now this is becoming easier.
French people speak like they are racing against the guy who reads the side effects in drug commercials
What made it easier?
Why is the volume of the dialogue so much lower than the rest of the sound?

I have spent months researching into speaking French and found a fantastic website at Magic Language Method (google it if you're interested)
I came here two weeks ago really struggling with the listening... And now today, all the speech sounds as though it is in slow motion.
Don't give up guys, persevere!
This isn’t for beginners, lol
Am I the only one who struggles to understand what all male voices say in all of FrenchPod101's videos? They sound so nasal and .... weird.
I agree. Loud female voices are always better for learning in my opinion.
I understand just fine :D
I'm french and i agree. He hears like he got a cold.

Help
I am a french teacher and I find this super helpful for preparation
for final oral comprehension exams!!! Thank you very much!!!
I wish I could buy hard copy of the conversations or pdf format.
bonjour , vous êtes française ? moi oui
This is so easy for me now. I remember last year it was impossible.
Very helpful and practical. You can get some ideas through the conversations based on your job. Thanks a lot
the way i use this video (that seems to really help) is i listen to the audio & try to figure out what it's saying & then listen to the audio while just looking at the french written part & if there's still something i don't understand i look at the english translation. after that i go BACK to just the audio, now knowing what it means, and i try to listen to the audio and get my brain to understand the meaning of what's being said w/o directly translating it into english. idk how much sense this makes, but i think it's a good way to stop your brain from directly translating and actually getting it to learn the language.
I also use this method. If you want to learn a new language you have to challenge yourself. For me, I try to find the point where understanding the phrases is really hard, so I only get like 15-25% percent of the words when I start. Then, gradually getting better, after I reach >70% rate of understanding I switch to the next difficulty.
Ces vidéos sont très utiles, merci
If it's to fast for you, you can always change the video speed.
I am no beginner when it comes to French. I have been tested at a B2 level (advanced intermediate) but I found this difficult. The last few days I have repeated the first 4 dialogues and have found them easier every time as I am more able to distinguish the individual words and phrases.
These listening videos are a big help. Thank you for this! ❤️
Excellent. Very creative ways for listening practice. Thank you very much.
3:47 Its not "what time do you close today".. rather "you are open until what time?"
That bottom translation makes so much more sense thank you
i hate when things aren't translated literally like that it makes it so much harder to understand
As an spanish speaker who is just starting french, i gotta say Romance languages are a blessing. It´s not impossible for me to understand almost everything here but it´s quite close. Greetings to any romance speaker
Thankq so much and these excercises are really helpful for my gcse french exam .
Merci beaucoup pour vos efforts
This is way too fast for beginners.
true true
you dont need to understand everything to know the answers. It may be hard,but if you pay attention and know the key words, it should be doable
The speed is perfect, believe me you will learn a lot with these videos
Hapmaplapflap gap all I know is livre and the small words
Hapmaplapflap gap i cant hear what they say it’s so fast
Thanks for such a nice video!
I have studied french in school from 2nd grade, and I am in 10th grade now. I really wanna learn it and I wonder why I know english almost like a native (I started studying it in 1st grade) and I am still far from knowing French as well. Could be because I learned lots of English from games and stuff, but anyway. This is hard for me so far. Some words are used in different contexts than we are taught, I don't know some, or I either can't understand because of the accent. But I'm really starting to work on it.
absolute beginners? damn the first 6 minutes I had to pause every now and then to confirm what i was listening to. definitely not beginners but its good practice regardless
Elle et trés bien merci beaucoup pour vous.
Thank you. This has been very useful!
And a little tip for everyone, if you want to increase the difficulty change the speed of the video to 1.25 or 1.5
It's much more close to the native speakers pace.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this💖💖💖💖
it was really helpful for me merci beaucoup
These are great!
这是给初学者的？！有点难吧。Is this for 'Absolute Beginner'? C'est difficile.
I know, in my grade seven class we are doing listening exercises and there are not this hard, I have been learning French for around three years but I only started enjoying it and trying around a month ago using dou lingo and such. This is not begginer 100%
兄弟，我是觉得没有问题的。当然，我是中学者，所以我也不知道啦
您是中国人吗
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo instructive
Very useful...not boaring
I've been learning French for a few weeks, of course I can't understand all of these....
But it's soooo much better than in the very beginning...
Now I can recognize sooo many words spoken here,
Just words, not sentences...
But still it's a good improvement.
I was surprised that I was able to understand the dialog after studding French for a while...this is nice !

lovely 💜💜💜video
Gabriela,u r doing r good job there. I had studied a considerable degree of french grammar but was unable to escalate from those basics to preliminary speaking.
Hi.
Thanks for this video.
Have you got the same (long ones with many exercises) for A2, B1 and B2? Can you give the links here, please?
Merci beaucoup pour les vidéos j'aime bien étudier les langues
thanks for the videos, i'm a beginer french learner and i found these questions are so useful and i can listen them well, where can i find more video like this for practicing? thanks
love it! I am at about A2-B1 level
This is just something but it helps with my listening skills thanks.
That was very nice I love speaking french I like it
Very Very useful thanks
Well must say the way you made this video is very appreciable, I faced no issue while listening to this video but at some points I had to hear it two times Though it was good. Thank you so much Team for a such a nice video.
Ee indians ekkada vadalaru
Thanks alot for this video its not amazing its super amazing!
And I think it can also function as a video to improve pronunciation as people talk relatively slow in it so you can hear the pronunciation and repeat after them and if its so fast and even hearing words separately on a transelater doesn't help I think a dictionary which contain phonetics (every tiny sound in a word) and a separate app for phonetics - I've found "phonétique" app to be pretty amazing- would help anyone tremendously in improving their pronunciation. Just look up for words phonetics - sounds existed in a word- then slowly hear those sounds on a french phonetics app.
Thanks a lot buddy
i loveeee it!
Mon dieu😮, I spent much time learning but this video helped me a lot. 🙏
I hadn't formally studied French since high school which was a very long time ago for me. I gave up on continuing to learn because I greatly struggle with auditory comprehension.
I practiced with this video on a whim after not practicing for a few years. I did only two semesters of high school French 30 years ago and I am shocked at how much I was able to understand from listening to and how much I could recall from reading with this video. This video inspired me to pick up French again and stick with it, and I will stick with FrenchPod. Merci beaucoup!
Ce n’est pas pour les débutants. C’est trop difficile pour eux!
Aussi: Je ne suis pas français, mais j’étudie le français à mon école! Je suis dans dixième année!
Merci pour ton temps! Avoir une vie encroyable!
So I've been doing duolingo lessons in french for 200 and something days now, and i can close my eyes and understand the context, but most word go over my head still.
Most of the days of duolingo were just to keep the streak going, i imagine if i would be better if i actually did it right!
Merci
Yeah I’ll need to come back later. I’m to much of a beginner for this! 😂
Merci🙏
Why does the example use imparfait (@ 7:04) for what seems should be a present or better yet future tense question? If I'm missing something please tell me. Merci
I would recommend people to look at easy french then here😊....it will be easier

I actually found this great. I absolutely do consider this beginner level. Considering how fast French is normally spoken, and how similar a lot of the sounds are when they blend into eachother, this is a perfect way to tune your ear. I've been studying French for about three months, maybe four, and I understood most of this with ease. The intermediate video is my next challenge, that's where I'm at currently. But, I've been listening for the entire duration of my studying. I started with Pimsleur, a method that forces you to listen. I used Assimil, and drilled the CDs until I recognized every word, you absolutely have to put at least half of your efforts into listening, because this is exactly what you're looking forward to as a mere beginner: fast, flat, infused sentences. No pitch accent like English, nasals that slightly differ, and plenty of words that end without their letters being pronounced. This is the easiest language to read, write, and learn the grammar. I consider this the hardest for listeners though, absolutely. I understand more Japanese from two weeks of study, because I can dissect the phonetics. Same with Spanish, not to mention I've heard it my entire life, and German as well, given that it is articulated with every letter, and there are maybe five dipthongs. French is the hardest language to speak, because it's the hardest to listen. I promise you that other top languages will be a breeze (as far as listening) after you pick up this beautiful flow of words
I had watched this video when i was doing A1 level and at that time i didn't able to pick any words. But now i have completed A2 and now i find the words are very clear and able to understand it. I think everyone needs to be patient and keep practicing. The more vocab you build the more it gets easier to speak and understand french.
Guide me more please

I think my level in french is actually better than I thought

Very easy, I think I’m ready to take the CLEP test
gud luck! mate!
Verysure helpful indeed, with id found it earlier
i'm italian, i studyed a little bit of japanese and it is a freaking complicated language... i decided to stop for a moment with japanese and try something else. Casually i ended up here, i'd never studyed french in my life and i can understand a good part of it, EUROPEAN LANGUAGES I LOVE YOU
ok i will like and subscribe
Absolutely agree with others who say this is too quick! Ridiculously quick actually. I can see that the senarios are very good but when the written versions are shown there is no time to read the French and then the English translation and certainly no time for reflection. Such a shame. So off-putting for beginners and even intermediate students.
This helped me a lot.... merci!!
Tres bien lecon
how is this for absolute beginners?
Can you please let me know if listening test in TEF is similar to this one.? I mean do they also have images in listening..?
The link to the FrenchPod101 is not straight-forward. One advertises "free," but it appears one is going to be automatically enrolled in an automatic billing offer.
My problem with these is that they're identical in all languages and I've already done this in Chinese and Japanese and I get no actual practice out of this cuz I already know everything they're saying
I’m glad I’m not the only one that finds this hard. I’ve been studying French for a few weeks and I actually thought about just giving up on French altogether after listening to this.
I started some weeks ago too, this isn’t for beginners
This is absolutely not for beginners what a fail
Believe me, this is for begginers and you can see what they said in english this is a really good way to learn french
But for absolute beginners :v
21:40 Man... The difference between being 59 being 60 is startling!
Out of 12 scenario questions, I manged to get 9 right, after watching the video more than 3 times, would I still count as a beginner or most it be "cent pour cent" to move to intermediate?
at the beginning i really didn't understant what words common of their mouse , but then i heard them hardly 3-4 times ,i star to understand what words they say and meaning the words
i`ve been learning french for 1 years
Gracias. Se ve que eres creativa y dedicada. Te sugiero que uses menos pantallas blancas, hay problemas de aprendizaje que se activan con el blanco. Mil gracias. Suerte
I think there is some mistake while explaining the opening hours of the clinic! Because it says it will be open up to 16h or 04 pm but it says you have to come before 17h30 or 05:30 pm 🤔
I've been learning french for 3 years and I haven't undestand anything, should I change of school or of video? 😥
Well, it's because you don't really practice your listening skills. At the fourth year of seriously learning English, I already reached the C1 level (which means I could follow a lecture in college without any significant difficulty and I can understand 80% of this video after 7 weeks of seriously learning French!
@@kevinellieemmahedog100 not anymore. But still if you want to speak French, listen to and read french short stories, aswell as going on french news websites ect
@@willmartin3067 😂. The exams got cancelled so I stopped doing any french ageeesss ago

Haha je suis française et ça me parait tellement simple mais moi aussi j’ai du mal en anglais 😂😂 bon courage les anglais et les autres !!
Don't be disappointed because it's not an appropriate one for absolute beginners. You need more vocab than you have.
self learn French for 7 month I can make most of them right, proud of me😅
