Listening Exercises
These listening exercises are off the Lawless French site and are excellent for really fine-tuning your ear for everyday, authentic use of French. Listen to each one a number of times. Each time, try to rely on the accompanying script less and less. Your goal is to not need the script at all. Good luck. And, most of all, have fun!
