I’ve been trying to learn French recently and, while I feel like my vocabulary is getting better, I still can’t understand French when spoken at a natural speed, even if the sentence is simple. A friend recommended that I check out http://www.rfi.fr/lfen/statiques/accueil.asp which has a number of features for those trying to learn French. Best of all (to my mind) is “The news in simple French”. Accompanied by scripts, this is definitely what I need in order to get used to spoken French.

Great link! That is a really fantastic source. TV and radio news is actually one of the best ways to improve your French – even at the most advanced levels of the language you can use this to challenge and improve your comprehension. I will certainly be using it to brush up!
