MFL listening papers

[HereIAm20]

My son does fairly well on his MFl papers ( French and German) but never in the listening papers where they speak in the MFL and answer questions in English. He says it is because of the accents. I suspect his teachers speak more slowly and also anglicise it somewhat.

Does anyone know of any online programmes where the language is spoken rather than written? year 8 at present.

There is a free App called Duolingo that can help you get used to the accents and speed.

My DD uses BBC bitesize I think (I'll check). There are transcripts in both English and the language which they can read as they listen.
The foundation papers are considerably slower and clearer according to DD. Some of the higher listenings have stronger accents.
DD found over Christmas that by repeated listening she got more 'in tune'.

Thank you both x

checked - is BBC bitesize.

For GCSE Pearson do revision work books (as well as revision guides) covering all topics with exam style questions which include audio files to download. There is one for AQA and one for Edexcel. They're really good, I use them with my classes. Shows you the grade of every question too.
