I'm at a stage in French where I can understand almost everything I hear, providing
that it isn't too fast. My spoken French is far from perfect, I can form sentences to express my opinions on various topics, but the sentence production rate is usually slow. I feel the need to really immerse myself in the language for the next few months in order to increase my listening abilities and of course my spoken ability. I'm looking for some suggestions for both online resources (anything to get me from intermediate to advanced) and books. I remember that watching TV with subtitles was a great help when I was learning Irish, if someone could post a link to some French TV programmes with subtitles or similar it would be great! Come September I will be living with a fluent French speaker, and so I want to improve as much as I can before then in order to push for a higher level with the help of my friend. Thanks very much 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Streetwise French - for getting used to the way French is actually spoken by natives. Lots of audio that are not simple to understand in the beginning but you get used to them throughout the book.
Living Language French Advanced - Living Language books are rather extensive, even the final chapters at the Beginner's-Intermediate book contain very detailed texts, so expect to find really interesting texts at the Advanced one. Assimil Le Français des Affaires - very long lessons with a connected story throughout the book. It's focused on Business French, but did wonders to my listening overall. Besides, when you take out the business terms, you get formal spoken French which is highly adequate. Colloquial French Grammar - no lessons but a complete reference for understanding how spoken French works. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
