This is a really good listening piece about father's day. What happened to the side by side translations from before?
"Bonne fête des Pères !" has been shared to the blog from the French reading exercises section of the learning library where you can find a large selection of interactive texts to help you with your reading skills. This article also has audio for you to practice your French listening skills; you can find many more listening activities in the French listening practice section.
The third Sunday in June is unofficially Father’s Day in France. Find out where it came from in our bilingual audio article.

Bonjour Sharwin,
Glad you like it!
I write articles for two different sites. This Father's Day piece is on the Kwiziq French blog: https://french.kwiziq.com/blog where we use a specially designed Reader that allows you to read the translations one phrase at a time and also find links to related grammar lessons.
The articles on https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/ are the ones with side-by-side translations.
Bonne journée !
