Bonjour everyone! Welcome back to the French Made Easy podcast! This is episode number 184, numéro 184.
Today, weâre going to practise your listening and writing skills with a beginner dictation themed around transportation.
Now⊠if youâre already familiar with how my dictations work on the podcast, feel free to use the time markers to skip straight to the dictation. But if this is your first time, let me quickly explain how it works.
For each dictation, you have a printable workbook available in two levels:
â Level 1, with some gaps to fill in (a bit easier),
â and Level 2, a full dictation with no gaps (a bit more challenging).
Youâll find the link to download your Dictation Workbook in the podcast notes. It includes:
- the full French text
- the English translation
- space to write down your answers as you listen
Iâll read the dictation three times:
- The first time â just listen and get the context.
- The second time â write down everything you hear.
- The third time â check what youâve written and fill in any missing words.
Alright, vous ĂȘtes prĂȘts ? Ready? Grab your pen â and letâs get started!
đ§ First Reading â Just listen
Clara est actuellement en vacances Ă Paris. Hier, elle a beaucoup marchĂ© pour dĂ©couvrir la ville, et elle a aussi fait une balade en bateau sur la Seine. Ce matin, elle a pris le mĂ©tro pour aller au musĂ©e du Louvre. Elle garde toujours une carte de transport dans son sac, avec un petit plan de la ville. Cet aprĂšs-midi, elle louera un VĂ©libâ pour rentrer Ă lâhĂŽtel. Demain, elle se rendra au chĂąteau de Versailles en train, et pour son dernier jour, elle ira Ă lâaĂ©roport en taxi. Son avion dĂ©collera Ă quinze heures.
âïž Second Reading â Write down everything
