You can learn French by listening to this collection on the road, at the gym, or while your running errands.  

Its best to immerse yourself in your new language as often as possible.  Frequent exposure to the language will help your brain recognize patterns and retain the new information better.

In this first lesson you'll find some very basic expressions, including how to say who you are, where you live and what you do. You'll also be introduced to three verbs. You can take a test, too, by downloading the accompanying PDF Lesson Guide from our website, www.learnfrenchbypodcast.com, which contains a complete transcript and lots of extra, useful information.

1. Introducing yourself

We'll be talking about someone who is quite religious in this lesson. We'll meet the adjectives "croyant" and "pratiquant" to describe such a person, we'll see how to use "ne... jamais", we'll use the verb "se souvenir de", and we'll practice other interesting expressions, too. Let's get started...

41. I didn't know Paul was religious, did you?

This is a short lesson, for Beginners, to recap on one of the basics – numbers and counting. We'll focus on the numbers 1 to 10 and discuss a few points of pronunciation we'll need to watch out for in relation to these numbers. Allons-y!…

93. Let's count!

This short lesson is a follow-on from lesson 93 on the numbers from 1 to 10. This time, we'll proceed as far as the number 69. From 70 onwards, there are another few twists which we'll deal with in a later lesson. Allons-y!...

96. Let's count! [part II]

Lessons 93 and 96 dealt with numbers from 1-20 and 21-69, respectively. This Beginner lesson will take us from 70 to 100, and beyond. We will then know virtually everything we need when dealing with numbers generally.

102. Let's count! [Part III]

In this Beginner lesson, lesson 108, we talk about possessive adjectives, that is, words like 'my', 'your' and 'his' in English. We'll discover that, like regular adjectives, possessive adjectives also must agree in number and gender with the nouns they qualify. Let's go ahead and see how they work.

108. How to say 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her'...

One of our listeners in the U.S. asked if we would create a lesson focusing on larger numbers, for example those found in dates, and so on. That's the subject of this lesson, lesson 112. We'll start with a role-play where Sylvie tells us about the region in which she lives.

112. Large numbers and dates.

One of our listeners asked for a lesson which would help when buying clothes. In this Beginner lesson – lesson 114 – that will be the topic conversation. We'll discover how to ask for a garment one size larger or smaller, how to ask if we may try something on, how to say something suits or not, and more. Let's start with a role-play between a shop assistant and a customer. Allons-y!

114. Shopping for clothes

In this lesson, learn how to say you get on well with someone. Speak about things in general and talk about playing musical instruments. Learn about adjectives ending in '-if', as well as the key verb 'avoir'.

2. Discussing family

Saying where and for whom you work. Talking about colleagues. interesting french acronyms. Introduction to the adverbs 'bien' and 'mal'. Learn how to used the verb 'pouvoir' in a variety of situations. Are the french hard workers? Find out now.

3. Talking about work

Martin arrives in Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris. His luggage doesn't, however! Can you follow the directions he receives? Learn about 'devoir', the pronoun 'y',  'le passé composé', and more. It's all in this lesson.

4. Problem at the airport!

Whether you're opening a new bank account, or sending something by registered mail, chances are that someone is going to ask you to spell your name, your address, or whatever. But, how do you do that in French?! Let's find out.

5. A look at the alphabet!

Type the word 'hangover' into google and it will return millions of hits. Remedies, cures, avoidance strategies, explanations - someone out there has all the answers. We can't pretend to have the ultimate cure, but we can, on the other hand, provide some vocabulary to discuss that unpleasant feeling in French.

12. I've got a hangover!

It's a situation we regularly find ourselves in. We're in a bar or an auditorium looking for a seat. But, is the one we have our eye on actually free? How should we ask? Let's find out in this short - but practical - lesson.

24. Excuse me... Is this seat taken?

In this lesson, our goal is to find out how to ask someone to do a favour for us. We'll meet the expression 'rendre un service à quelqu'un'. We'll also re-visit the expression 'il y a' but in the immediate future form. Finally, we'll study how to deal with the english verb 'to get'.

26. Could you do me a favour?

In this lesson, we're talking about someone's new hairstyle. We'll discover some 'technical' terms in relation to hairstyling, we'll look at two different uses for 'chez', and we'll see how to say we're 'bored by' or 'fed up with' something. Allons-y!

27. Wow! Your hair looks great!

In this lesson, we'll be dealing with some internet-specific vocabulary. We'll meet some other useful expressions, too, including 'I don't want to complicate my life!', 'I'm not promising anything' and 'it would be good if...'. This last expression will require the subjunctive (hence the 'intermediate' level of this lesson). Let's take a closer look...

28. Do you have the internet at home?

In this lesson, we'll discover how to say 'It's been a while!' or 'It's been a long time!' We'll also find out how to ask what someone's been up to recently, and how to say that we've been working very hard...

29. It's been a long time!... What have you been up to?!

Our lesson dialogue this time focuses on working conditions as Qatar develops its infrastructure for the football World Cup in 2022. The tournament is some years away yet but the controversy surrounding the plight of workers is current, and real. To get started, let’s listen to a conversation between Béatrix and Rémy.

162. As-tu entendu parler des ouvriers migrants au Qatar?
