Here are some podcasts to practice for the listening part of the AP French exam! It’s always good to be familiar with different parts of francophone culture, so I’ve done my best to get varied stories throughout.
Radio France Internationale (news)
Journal en français facile (part of RFI)
One Thing In A French Day (everyday culture)
- À l’école avec Noé
- Concert au théâtre du Châtelet
- Au musée de la mode
- Rituel du matin
- Dans le mauvais train
- Vélo le soir
Another thing that I’ve found to be helpful is French lectures/podcasts on iTunes! Below are some that I’ve found useful, whether during AP French or in previous years. And yes, they’re all free!
- NYU: lectures
- Agnes Scott College: really basic refreshers, plus a classroom setting
- Tu Sais Quoi?: little snippets of conversations on lots of topics
- The Open University: cultural videos, etc
I hope that helps to get you started in your practice for the AP exam! If you have anything to add, or if any of the links are broken, please let me know!
