National 5 french

9

my French teacher advised that we listen to something in French before going into the exam, she says the exam shouldn’t be the first French we are hearing that day. So I’m wondering what to listen to before going onto the exam, for my prelim/mocks I watched French Peppa Pig for three days leading up to it, but I don’t know if that was very useful so I’m asking for other ways to familiarise myself with French before going to my exam that is easily accessible. Thanks

This is a great idea from your teacher! I recommend watching some videos on the Easy French YouTube channel. They interview people on the streets in France about different topics. There are subtitles in French and English so you can immerse yourself in French without it being too tiring like doing an exam paper. I used these before my French National 5 exam: https://www.youtube.com/@EasyFrench Listening to some French nursery rhymes could also be fun and if that appeals, this YouTube channel is good: https://www.youtube.com/@Titounis You could also try watching some TV with French or English subtitles depending on how you're feeling. I really recommend Lupin on Netflix. Hope these help and good luck!

Hi Ivy,
Your French teacher gave you great advice! Listening to French before an exam helps "tune your ear" to the language, making it easier to process and understand during the test. Since you enjoyed watching French Peppa Pig, it sounds like you’re already on the right track with engaging, kid-friendly content.
If you’re looking for something new, I’d recommend checking this kids' animation YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@goodkids-yt . We create fun and educational animations in French that are perfect for learners of all ages. The language is simple, clear, and easy to follow, making it a great way to immerse yourself in French before your exam. Plus, the colorful visuals and engaging stories make it enjoyable to watch!
