All levelsExternal resource ↗4 min
Le français facile avec RFI publishes a daily news bulletin — the Journal en français facile — spoken more slowly and clearly than normal radio, with a written transcript for each edition. That transcript is the key feature: you can listen first, then read to confirm every word you missed. It is free, fresh every day, and built on real current events, which are exactly the topics TEF and TCF listening tasks draw from.
How to use it for exam prep
A three-pass daily routine
- Listen once without the transcript and note the main topics — training the one-pass listening you need in the test.
- Listen again and jot numbers, names and dates using your note symbols; this is deliberate number-and-detail practice.
- Read the transcript to confirm what you heard and to harvest new vocabulary and connectors for your speaking and writing.
