'Champs-Elysées' audio magazine

Champs-Elysées, the monthly audiomagazine for intermediate to advanced speakers of French and those interested in French lifestyle, culture and travel.
It is not always easy to experience online what is essentially an "offline" course, consisting of paper publications and audio CDs, however our interactive demonstration will help give you a better idea of the sorts of themes covered, the usefulness of the vocabulary, and the language level to which you will be able to quickly aspire.

Edited in Paris by Dr. Terry Lacassin and hosted by Georges Lang, one of France's best-known radio personalities, each monthly edition is an unbeatable combination of entertaining audio, rich annotation, and challenging learning. Each monthly audiomagazine consists of an hour-long programmme in French on audio cassette (or CD) packed with news, features, and interviews reflecting what's going on in France.

Previous guests on the French programme include, politicians François Mitterand and Jacques Chirac and actors Juliette Binoche and Brigitte Bardot. You also get a magazine containing a word-for-word printed transcript of the program. Difficult words are highlighted in bold in the text and defined in an extensive (500 entries on average) French-English glossary. The glossary also contains explanations of tricky grammatical constructions and fascinating background notes that tell you more about the people, places, and issues discussed in the program. There are even URLs for Web sites and pages you can access to get further in-depth information.
