(I change my mind about this as often as you change your mind about your study routine.) My motivation at the moment is to learn enough by next summer to be able to follow Tour de France coverage in French. I've already got a list of sites bookmarked in anticipation, but I was wondering whether you follow cycling in French and, if so, whether there are any sources you'd recommend?
Good luck with French Soffía ! i'll definitely follow your journey. One would think that I would follow the Tour de France in French, but i don't even have a VPN. I can get enough French content without needing a VPN. I've not watched Le Tour de France in French yet and am happy not to. My family watch it in English and some friends, and I'm very fond of the English commentary, but if you do find a decent source of French commentary please let me know, as I prob should at least watch both if I'm not going to go French all the way.
Thank you! I don't know that I'll be able to comprehend live race coverage in less than a year, though I can hope.
(Though I'm with you in being fond of the English commentators. In my case it's David Millar on ITV, all the way.)
Mostly what I was thinking about is articles, forums, Twitter, podcasts, etc... the commentary beyond the race. In my log I've listed some of what I've found already, so if there's anything good that I've missed, do let me know!
