News in Slow French

This is a subscription service, but it has lots of great free content.

Offered in French, Italian and Spanish the weekly News in Slow episodes can prove useful for learners of all levels. Not only is the delivery perfectly timed (it's slow, but not too slow) but being current news, chances are you'll at least have an idea of what they're talking about. Listening to news in a foreign language is great for increasing your vocabulary on current topics, which comes in handy if you'll be chatting to some natives soon.

FluentU

Lots of free content.

Learning a language is one of the most rewarding, but also most challenging things we've ever done.

Traditional tools like textbooks have been essential for us. But what we've found is that we learn best through rich, engaging experiences. It's easy to remember words when they're reinforced by experiences that move you. We also believe early exposure to engaging content helps prevent learners from giving up before they're fluent.

Tu amor está completamente tierno
forjado de recuerdos
y sin saber es cielo en la ventana
que me abre la mañana

Tu amor me parte en dos el occidente
me clava de repente
y me convierte en masa que se amolda
a una ilusión ardiente

Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz
o le pego un parcho al alma
átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón
y dime como está mi amor en tu amor

Frío, frío como el agua del río
o caliente como agua de la fuente
tibio, tibio como un beso que calla
y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
Ayayayay....

Tu amor despierta y lava su carita
de rosas me salpica
y sin saber es una vía láctea
que gira y me da vida

Tu amor lo guardo dentro de mis ojos
como una lagrimita
y no los lloro para que no salgan
tus besos de mi vista

Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz
o le pego un parcho a mi alma
átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón
y dime como está mi amor en tu amor

Frío, frío como el agua del río
o caliente como agua de la fuente
tibio, tibio como un beso que calla
y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
Pudiera ser un farolito
y encender tu luz
(para encender mi luz...)
hasta que quieras tú

Frío, frío como el agua del río
o caliente como agua de la fuente
tibio, tibio como un beso que calla
y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
