WHAT YOU GET

A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's news, spoken slowly and clearly enough for a beginner to follow.


Every episode has its own page with the full French transcript, the English translation beside it, the day's vocabulary, one grammar point and a short quiz. No account needed to read.


WHY NEWS WORKS BETTER THAN EXERCISES

You already know what happened today. That means your attention goes to the French instead of to the story, which is the fastest route from textbook French to French you actually meet.


NEVER STUDIED FRENCH BEFORE?

Day One takes you from zero to your first real news bulletin in four weeks, one short episode at a time:

NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?

About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show you what to work on next:

If you have been looking for a French podcast for beginners built on real material rather than scripted dialogues, this is it.


If A1 starts to feel slow, the same stories are published at A2 and B1+ the same morning. Search LinguaWire French A2.
