This is a set of 20 advanced level French dictées. These dictations are short dialogues between two people, read by François, a native Parisian. The dialogues are read slowly first and then even more slowly to give students time to write them down. Punctuation and links (liaisons) between words are pronounced.

⭐ First reading:   Moderate pace, don’t write yet

⭐ Second reading:  Slow pace, listen and write

⭐ Third reading:  Normal pace, check your work

Have your students equipped with a pen and paper and give them plenty of time to check their work. On the third reading, the dialogues are read at full speed with proper spoken French intonation at the end of each dictation exercise. Students should pay close attention to spelling, gender, plurals and agreements when writing.

Play these exercises in class with a group and self check, use them for assessment, or you can even assign them as homework.

Students can practice repeating the sentences for correct pronunciation.  They can even record themselves and compare their pronunciation or work as a group role play.

Sample dictation:

Femme parlant à son mar​i:

Chéri, tu n'aurais pas dû prendre cette route ! Tu sais bien qu'il y a toujours des bouchons par ici à cette heure-ci.

Homme​:

Nous n'avions pas vraiment le choix, les routiers bloquent toutes les autoroutes autour de Paris.

"Dictation is the transcription of spoken text: one person who is "dictating" speaks and another who is "taking dictation" writes down the words as they are spoken. Among speakers of several languages, dictation is used as a test of language skill, similar to spelling bees in the English-speaking world."
