Champs-Elysées

Champs-Elysées is an audio magazine for intermediate to advanced French learners. It is a subscription program that includes the magazine, an hour-long CD or cassette, plus an optional study supplement (Champs-Elysées Plus) . It is designed to improve your vocabulary, grammar and listening comprehension, as well as your cultural understanding of the French-speaking world. Each magazine includes about a dozen topics ranging from politics and economics to tourism and geography to literature, poetry, music, film, etc.

I highly recommend this program, especially if you do not have access to materials that provide spoken French. Each magazine contains the full text/transcript on the even-numbered page, and the vocabulary on the odd-numbered page. There are several notes in English at the end that explain the people and places mentioned. The study supplements include audio flashcards (repetition of phrases from the text), as well as written exercises and translations of certain extracts.

Acquerello Italiano

Acquerello Italiano is an Italian audiomagazine, by the makers of Champs-Elysées.

The program is also available in German - Schau ins Land and Spanish - Puerta del Sol.
