Français Authentique 17+

I’ve been learning french for 5 years & have tried lots of different methods, including a few apps, & Johan & français authentique is by far the best. He speaks slowly & clearly & provides transcripts, which really helps accelerate learning. If you want to improve your french comprehension & speaking skills, this is the app for you.

Johan is a systematic and dedicated person who provides a steady flow of quality French content, including many free podcasts with transcripts. After one year of learning French, I started tuning in to his podcasts and found that listening to French alone, without the constant translations into English that many podcasters provide, was a much more intensive and efficacious method of learning. Since the transcripts are available, you can always look up the meanings of words and learn more in the process. Johan has a particular gift for describing words and expressions in French by using other words and expressions; this means that one learns words along with their synonyms and expands one's vocabulary in a natural, organic way. I recommend this app and Johan's podcast to any person who is ready to leave translations behind and take flight, at long last, into a purely French world. Thank you, Johan.

Terrific, Johan! A fantastic resource. I prefer my iPad and iPod for learning French and only get on my desktop computer every few days so I certainly came across your Francais Authentique at the right time.
I've listened to a few podcasts and also looked at the transcripts after I've tested my listening skills, and always find a few new words where I've guessed the meaning from the context, which is heartening. I have done the Sept Règles (free) and found it excellent and out of appreciation of all these amazing resources I have just bought Packs 1,2, and 3, which I'm finding the same wonderful quality as the freebies.
I've done 3 years of French at University and my whole life I've been disappointed that I couldn't understand fluent French, nor speak fluently.
Thank you for your commitment to this course, Johan and also your continuing generosity.
