Épisode de Causette en chaussettes - French Podcast for Beginners - slow and normal French (A1+/A2) par French Station by Mona · 30 août 2026 · 10 min

Improve your French with a beginner-friendly podcast featuring slow and comprehensible French.

Summer holidays are over… back to reality!

At the end of August and beginning of September, there's one word you'll hear everywhere in France: la rentrée.

In this beginner-friendly episode (A1+/A2), you'll discover what exactly la rentrée means.

We'll talk about coming home from holiday, unpacking your suitcase, saying goodbye to les grasses matinées, setting the alarm again and getting back into your usual routine.

You'll also discover "le blues de la rentrée", that feeling of sadness or lack of motivation when the holidays are over and it's time to return to everyday life.

And just like January, September can also feel like a fresh start in France: a time to begin a new activity, join a club, learn a language or start a new project.

Listen in slow French and normal speed to improve your listening comprehension naturally while discovering everyday French language and culture.

New episodes every week.

A small learning tip:

After listening to the episode, try answering these questions in French:

Est-ce que vous avez le blues de la rentrée ?

Est-ce que vous avez une nouvelle résolution ou un nouveau projet pour cette rentrée ?

You can also describe how you feel when you return to your normal routine after the holidays.

Even a few simple sentences are excellent practice!

Bonne écoute et bonne rentrée !
