Coucou les French learners,
🦆 The Duck and the Vulture – A Free Story Listening Video
My Dear Man & I have just published a brand new free Story Listening video on YouTube: Le canard et le vautour 🦆🦅.
In this fable, the duck warmly invites the vulture for le goĂ»ter (In France, it refers to an afternoon snack)… but things don’t go as planned! 🍰🦅
Click here to watch the video!
You’ll hear repeated French structures that will stick in your head naturally:
✨ “je ne comprends pas pourquoi”
✨ “personne ne m’invite”
✨ “il n’y a plus de”
And you’ll also learn richer French vocabulary like “chaleureusement” that will naturally boost your fluency 💬🌟
All in the context of a fun and meaningful story.
Why should you watch?
Because stories stick in your brain!
You won’t be memorizing lists or drilling grammar, you’ll be following a touching and quirky fable that makes French come alive naturally.
🌱 Why Story Listening Works Best
Story Listening is not about “studying” French, it’s about acquiring it naturally.
Your brain receives rich, abundant input, exactly what it needs to understand and eventually produce French.
With Story Listening:
- You focus on the story, not on grammar or vocabulary lists.
- You understand French without stress or frustration.
- You smile, you relax, and you enjoy the process, because stories bring joy!
This is the natural way humans acquire languages.
We don’t force our brain to “remember rules”, we feed it with compelling, meaningful input.
🛠️ 3 Simple Steps to Make the Story Yours
To benefit fully from “Le canard et le vautour”, follow these three steps:
- Watch the video on YouTube and try to understand the gist, not every single word.
- Read and listen to the story again for deeper comprehension.
- Retell the story, in your native language first, or, if you feel ready, in French. By narrating it, you make the story your own.
