French Listening Resources: Listen & Read to Improve your French Comprehension - Download mp3s & Transcripts Listening to a language while reading along with the transcript is a great way to improve your comprehension as well as your pronunciation. The following mp3s and mp4s were created by native speakers of French and they are free for teachers and students to download. All of them are spontaneous speech - nothing was scripted or rehearsed, and some were even recorded without the speaker's prior knowledge for an eavesdropping effect. For the resources that have transcripts available, I've created individual pages so that you can now listen and read along or do a cloze (fill-in-the-blank) exercise if you prefer to work online. Authentic French with Commercials & Films, the sister site of French Listening Resources, is now available. les videos les mp3s quelque chose de different...

VIDÃ‰O. Les premiers pas d'un bÃ©bÃ© rhinocÃ©ros blanc ESPOIR. Un rhinocéros blanc est né le 14 mai dernier au zoo de Dubbo, dans le sud-ouest de l'Australie. Le bébé est un mâle de 50 kilos qui n'a pas encore été baptisé. Il est le premier auquel sa mère, Mopani, a donné naissance a expliqué Pascale Benoit, soignante au Taronga Western Plains Zoo situé à 400 kilomètres à l'ouest de Sydney. "Il semble que la première pluie que nous ayons à Dubbo depuis des mois ait aidé à la naissance de ce bébé rhino", a-t-elle expliqué. Pour le directeur du parc, Cameron Kerr, la naissance d'un rhinocéros blanc (Ceratotherium simum) est toujours "un signe d'espoir". NEUF NAISSANCES. En 2003, cinq rhinocéros avaient été livré par le Kruger National Park (Afrique du Sud) afin d'améliorer la diversité génétique de la population du zoo australien.
