So, you can understand a 5 minute long French recording: but what about one which is 30 minute long?
A lot of intermediate students are disappointed because they are not able to follow a movie in French... But a movie is long, and you cannot go from handling a short conversation in French to understanding a 2 hour long movie! You need to train your brain to stay focus on longer - yet reachable - audio material.
With my French poetry analysis, you will:
- challenge your understanding on a longer, yet reachable French recording
- memorize everyday vocabulary and verb tenses, as well as more "upscale" vocabulary
- study the linking words and expressions that really make someone fluent
- hear formal as well as modern pronunciation of French
- learn about famous French poems and poets, deeply ingrained in French culture
See/hear for yourself and sample my analysis of Le Corbeau et le Renard de Jean De La Fontaine.
