Speak Today’s French

Stay current with French expressions

and refresh your grammar.

Our Podcasts teach you real French, the way it’s spoken on the streets of Paris and in the cafés in Nice, with authentic useful expressions you can use right away.

Do you know what Il est à l’ouest means, or what un ouf is? You don’t if you’ve been taught from dry, dusty French textbooks that teach you French from 50 years ago.

Start by listening to our free Podcasts, or download them from this Web site or from iTunes. Be sure to listen to our Mot du jour Podcast, which teaches you a new, modern French word and expression each day. Soon, you’ll be on your way to being dans le vent and the envy of your friends who can talk only about pencil boxes and ask directions to the telephone office. Who knows, you might even decide to brush up on your passé composé and imparfait!

If you’re eager to learn faster, we invite you to become a member of French Etc. For the same cost as a French dictionary, you can get access to worksheets, vocabulary lists and more, including individualized help from the native French speakers at French Etc.

Soon, we’ll be offering video tutorials as well. So start learning today. We’re always available on your computer, iPod, mobile device or phone, so you can take our Podcasts, worksheets and tutorials anywhere with you.
