French radio online. It's fun and helpful for your language develpment to listen to French music. Attention! Some stations in France allow some 'off' language so be fore-warned. When you go to the sites, look to click on "Ecoutez" or "Ecoutez en direct" to find the player.
French TV stations post video clips from their newscasts. This is a good way to listen to the manchettes(headlines), la météo (weather), les sports, etc.
There are BEAUCOUP de sites to help you learn and improve your French. I will be recommending certain sites for exercises and practice during the semester. Practice often, try them several times to improve your speaking, listening and reading abilities.
