I realize that it’s a tiny cross-section of people who read my comics and are also studying French, but I have to share this great tool my teacher introduced me to just in case it’s useful to one of you!

7 Jours Sur la Planète is a page on TV5Monde’s website that updates every Saturday with 3 new videos of world news stories in French (click on “Exercises en ligne” in the green box to begin).  The news clips are only 1-3 minutes long and there are optional transcriptions to help you follow along.  Then, there are 2 exercises each for 3 different levels of students (élémentaire, intermédiare, and avancé) to test your comprehension from the clips.  I love it!
