Hi Catherine, I'm also studying French and I just found this podcast: https://www.podcastfrancaisfacile.com/francais-debutant-apprendre-le-francais * You should choose "Débutant" options. I'm also studying on Duolingo (it's great for beginners). Try to watch some Cyprien's viedos on youtube as well, it's great to get used to the language. He is funny and his French is easy understand. (I add subtitles of course haha) https://www.youtube.com/user/MonsieurDream I hope it helps :) Feel free to send me a message if you want to ask something more

Hello, If you are a complete begginer, i would recommand that you use apps such as Duolingo and french learning books like "Comprendre-S'exprimer-Lire-Ecrire". In order for you to get familliar with the listening part, i recommand that you listent to music (avoid rap music, and french african music) you can listen to : Joe dassin, Indila, gregoire, christoph mae. You can also find many podcasts such as : Norman fait des videos, 6pri1 ou encore minute paillon

Hi ! I would recommend that you listen to music as well. French and francophone music as a lot of variety and you will definitely find something you link. The goal is to get your ear more receptive to French because our language has a lot of sounds that are difficult for adult learners to pick up, like "an", "on", "u", etc. Listening to French, even you don't understand it all, will definitely help in that regard. Watching movies as well, even if at the beginning you still use subtitles :) Kids comic-book can help with reading comprehension for a start as the topics are often the same as the one we teach beginners (family, friends, hobbies, home, etc.). Then an app to help you practice and memories vocabulary. Duolingo is one that I can recommend to my students because it's very ieasy to use. I hope it helps :)
