Reviewing is an essential part of the process of improving writing and speaking. The objective is to listen to the original recording to find mistakes and unnecessary pauses. Afterward, go back and re-record with those flaws corrected. It’s important to have a relaxed and natural way of speaking in French (without correcting one self midstream).
Practicing with these recordings helps to improve French skills overall:
- Re record
- Listen during recording
- Speaker listens to own recording
If needed, record a 3rd time and repeat steps 1 and 2.
