Although episodes only last three to four minutes, there\u2019s a lot to digest here.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get to hear the news story being read out loud slowly for around thirty seconds. Afterwards, the narrator goes over important vocabulary\u2014in French. It\u2019s a podcast to bookmark if you\u2019re looking to give your listening comprehension skills a boost!<\/p>\n<h2>How to Study French with News<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great feeling when you see words you&#8217;ve been learning come up on a real French news site. Increase the chances of this happening by <strong>studying some subject-specific vocabulary ahead of time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While most of the websites above provide translations for vocabulary words, remember that you&#8217;re working towards ultimately being able to take in French news on sites with content written for native French speakers, not French learners. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re reading about the job market in France, you&#8217;d likely benefit from reviewing some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/business-french-vocabulary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business French vocabulary<\/a>\u00a0and keeping a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.french-linguistics.co.uk\/glossaries\/commerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business French glossary<\/a> open.<\/li>\n<li>For politics and sports, you can take advantage of lists of election vocabulary and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/french-sports-vocabulary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French sports vocabulary<\/a>, as well as overviews of popular sports in France\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/about-france.com\/political-system.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the French political system<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re interested in reading about youth culture in France, you could make it easier for yourself by reviewing some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/french-slang-words-phrases-expressions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French slang words and phrases<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To retain new vocabulary, try writing down five of the most important words from a news item, then review them later on. You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/french-flashcards-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turn them into flashcards<\/a>! The next day, test yourself by going over the same content again and seeing how much you can understand now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why Read French News as a Beginner<\/h2>\n<p>Engaging with news in the French language is a fantastic way to learn French online. Print, audio, audio-visual\u2014all forms of news can be put to good use. Regardless of what you choose, French news can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase your familiarity with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/french-sentence-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French sentence structure<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>As you learn French, you&#8217;ll soon get used to the fact that sentences typically follow a Subject-Verb-Object structure.\n<p>You&#8217;ll also learn that French is a language full of exceptions with no rhyme or reason that requires rote memorization to be mastered. By engaging with French news, you&#8217;ll grow used to French turns of phrase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Solidify your understanding of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/french\/blog\/french-past-tense\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">past tense<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/french\/french-passe-compose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> pass\u00e9\u00a0compose<\/em><\/a>, the most frequently used past tense in French, is also the form of the past tense you&#8217;ll see most often in the news.\n<p>French language news is therefore a great way to experience this versatile past tense and remember it naturally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gain<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>insight into the French-language world. <\/strong>Last but certainly not least, keeping up with the news in French provides insight into political and cultural values, social practices and norms across the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldatlas.com\/french.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Francophone world<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of the resources above actually offer French learning material for different levels, so you can keep using them when you reach intermediate or even advanced.
