"La Francophonie dans le monde" 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.
To celebrate the world of French-speaking countries for International Francophonie Day (March 20), here’s a short and very informative video full of interesting facts about the worldwide organisation of Francophonie!
After watching the video, scroll down for the transcript in our bilingual reader, where you can click any French phrase for the English translation and related grammar lessons.
