Alexa Polidoro, the Internet's favourite French teacher, presents a new series of mini-lessons for people who wish to improve their French without any pressure, in fun, relaxed and manageable chunks. (These lessons can be enjoyed individually or as a supplement to her popular “French for Intermediate Learners” course – also available on the audible website.)

The key objective of Alexa’s Bitesize French Lessons is to develop your language skills in all four learning areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing. You will also work on building vocabulary and your knowledge of French grammar. And, as usual, there’ll be more than a fair helping of French cultural knowledge along the way!

(Each lesson comprises two topics, one French dictation and a French idiom. These lessons are for beginners to intermediate level. You may also be interested in Alexa’s Bitesize Lessons based on the same topics for beginners to intermediate level – available on the audible website.)
