Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

go with a text-to speech software. Paste the french and choose what french voice you want to read it out for you. there are some good ones out there that approach seamless french pronunciation.

yeah thats what i've been using now but i would prefer something not synthetic, so spoken by a real person. But if it does not excist then c'est la vie

Are you looking for something like short conversations to shadow? Or prose text like short stories or news articles?

Something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/French/s/gVVSRAm8ka

Has a large list of native speech + transcript resources.

Something like https://www.litteratureaudio.com has lots of audio books where you could take the text and practice reading a sentence and then listen to it, or shadow the text with continue listening or something like that.

A resource like an Assimil course has bilingual text + recordings.
