Les Français vus par les étrangers

Listen to some opinions about the French by people all over the world while working on your French listening comprehension. Below, you'll find the transcript - click any phrase to read the English and follow links to related French grammar lessons.

Note: Most of the segments are dubbed with the original language hardly lowered in volume, so if you have difficulty making out the French, use a headset: the original language is on one side and the French on the other.
