Excellent listening exercise

It's a great program because you hear native French speakers in their local setting. Different people with fairly easy and short dialogues. I haven't looked at the transcripts yet. I prefer to try to use it for listening skills to see if I can figure out everything they are saying. Great exercise for honing your listening skills.
