French Listening Comprehension
Introduction and Sound Files

NOTE: CÉ has suspended operations pending an ongoing lawsuit, and because their site is unavailable, this sound file is too. You can still use this exercise to work on your French reading comprehension, but the audio file will not work.

In April and May 2007, France will choose a new president, but at the moment there are some problems with the normal electoral process, including an important candidate not yet meeting the requirements to be on the ballot. Learn more in this listening comprehension exercise from Champs-Élysées audiomagazine (read my review).

Listen to the sound file by clicking the link below. If you don't have the correct software, your computer should prompt you to download it in order to listen. If you still have trouble accessing the sound file, read help with sound files.
