I seem to recall that I'm not the only one on my flist attempting to brush up on French. I came across these delightful 80s videos which are perfect for filling that gap between learning vocab and actually being able to understand people talking to you:

Unfortunately, they only seem to be available to stream in the US and Canada. Also, there is a creepy mime. Also, I get the distinct impression I'm going to come out of watching these sounding like a character in a French tv show from the 80s. But otherwise they are very good, and hopefully helpful!

Thanks! I am totally at the stage of having finished Duolingo but not yet being able to understand people talking to me.

Also, if you haven't found them yet, the BBC "Ma France" series is helpful, too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/french/mafrance/flash/

Ooo, that looks super useful, thank you.
