French reacquisition program

[glass_icarus]

So! 3 months into the move, I'm still living in a mostly-English-speaking bubble. This is annoying, as the language thing is really standing in the way of non-school social integration, exploration, and other things. Yesterday a friend of mine posted this Quebecois pour les nuls video, and I realized that if I can't reliably get my friends to speak French to me, there are other ways to go about it!

Therefore: any recommendations for French-language videos? Songs? Podcasts? News sources? Taking any and all suggestions, but I need to hear it more than I need to read it- I have an easier time of comprehension/recall when I have text in front of me; it's things like slang and pronunciation that trip me up.

I could rec movies in French - is that your thing?

[glass_icarus]

Movies also welcome, though I'd be more interested in shorter things! I'm more looking to fill small blocks of free/procrastination time, or something multitasking-friendly.

Deutsche Welle, whose stuff for German learners is v. good, also has a lot of stuff in French -- podcasts w/transcripts, etc., v. useful!

More stuff in French from a German media company

Sometimes I poke at this YouTube channel.

Directory of streaming tv from all over the world

Many links!

I used to have some links to watch A:TLA dubbed in French but they seem to have expired. >_< I bet they are locatable, though!

Oh yeah & Tunein is useful, of course! Sometimes I just pick a random news station to listen to...

Ooh, thanks for the recs! I will check them out. :)
