The Compréhension Orale section of each chapter is a way for you to test your listening comprehension skills and improve them. It is also a way to experience French vocabulary through real-world examples. In this section, you will learn new songs, meet Francophones and Francophiles and hopefully have fun doing so.

Play the video to meet a Francophone and Francophile. The video will pause every time there is a listening comprehension question. These questions are meant to challenge you and check your comprehension. You may slow down the recording by using the gauge on the bottom right-hand side of the player. To enlarge the video, select the diagonal arrows on the bottom right of the player. Bonne rencontre!
