About Apprendre le français avec TV5MONDE
Apprendre le français avec TV5MONDE is the French broadcaster's free learning site and app: exercises built around short news and TV clips, aimed at beginners (A1) to upper-intermediate (B2), with French as spoken in Paris, Geneva, Dakar, Montreal and Brussels. It suits a learner who wants free, level-graded listening with real broadcast French. It is exercise-by-exercise rather than a course, and the clips are short.
