So, recently, I've started listening to French radio and the like, which started out very hard. I could read very well, but spoken French was, to put it frankly, scary. I could only pick out a few nouns. After a little listening, I can hear several nouns, verbs, whole phrases, and even a few prepositions.

Compared to the rest of my knowledge, I know a few of prepositions but very few ways to use them. And so, that brings me to my question. There are a lot of sites devoted generally to French grammar that have taught me quite a bit, but are there are any relating to French prepositions solely or at least in great depth?

Another question, do you know any sites that, instead of news, have audios of stuff like regular conversations and movies? I realize these are the best for informal or everyday speaking.

Merci beaucoup en avance!

Here is a site with many examples (written and audio) or various prepositions used in sentences : http://www.lepointdufle.net/prepositions.htm

And this seems interesting as well : http://www.francaisfacile.com/cgi2/myexam/liaison.php?liaiso n=_preposition_

And this covers a lot (including prepositions) with exercises : http://fran-lang.vaniercollege.qc.ca/prep/

About a year ago I posted some links to online French tv channels in this thread called Resources for watching TV in Internet.

Here they are again (hoping they’re all still working!).

Please, remember that for copyright reasons not all videos (especially films and telefilms) are available to watch from outside France, but I hope you will find something enjoyable all the same.

You can legally get around the geolimitations by subscribing to a VPN service (the one I use is called Overplay; it is excellent for this purpose and inexpensive). With that you can even watch many channels live at playtv.fr.

For Québécois accents you can go to Tou.tv and watch stuff from Radio-Canada. You will need a Canadian IP for that. There's some good stuff on telequebec.tv as well.
