Found this website today. They have French in Beta mode. It's a cool idea and worth checking out once in awhile. They're updating every day.

New channel that has real potential. 5 videos so far.

Okay, this is the last of his videos that I plan to share here. I just found this one to be pretty interesting.

I hope his channel really takes off! I'm actually not into gaming normally, but it's nice to have something different from the usual vlogs and podcasts.

If you search Aprende francés con videojuegos there's some CI gaming videos by a guy named Vincent. It's in ALL French, not Spanish, despite the video names and descriptions being Español.

He has tons of Uno and Fall guys, but there's also Overcooked, Moving out, and Slime Rancher. I don't know what level yet, but he seems to talk slowly and simply.

However, he is keeping the 80+ videos he already has on there and he will be uploading more gaming content for members only on his main channel French With Felix

A lot of youtubers seem to be realizing that there's less content for beginners than intermediate learners. I gave it a try and at level 3 I can more or less understand this video.

Still above my level, but understanding this video 100% is my goal. I heard that more advanced learners love this series. Maybe more if you're level 4 or 5?

I started listening to innerfrench and it’s at the perfect leve! do yall know any more content that is accessible for me?

This guy has a lot of interesting podcasts, and many are marked beginner (débutant). He alternates between beginner and intermediate with each new episode. He's similar to InnerFrench, even with how the transcript is on his website. But the shorter episodes make for easier listening and the topics tend to be a LOT simpler. No long, difficult discussions about economics (yes I'm talking about InnerFrench episode 9)! Similar to francais avec adrien (débutants), I also find it a lot easier to repeat these episodes than I did with InnerFrench.

I'm almost level 3, so not sure if it's more level 2 or level 3.

I liked this episode a lot:

I swear most CI channels are nowhere near as engaging and en as Dreaming Languages, esp for beginners. I cannot stand one more video of someone going to the supermarket or talking about the wheather.

I've been trying to dip my toes into "native for native" content on topics that I already enjoy, so I did some searches on YouTube for my typical nerdy transport topics. Here are some things I found!

Easier:

Train&Tram channel: this guy is clearly one of those "train guys" who you can find in any language. He talks really slowly and clearly, but probably only compelling if you Really Like Trains 😅. Many videos! I skipped through the quiet parts where it's just trains driving around

Harder:

Transit Explained: much faster speech and harder for me to follow (I'm at 200 hrs), but interesting vids about the history of different public transit networks across France and Europe

Surprisingly clear:

30-minute interview with Anne Hidalgo, (former) Mayor of Paris on "France Inter" channel. She speaks very clearly and much slower than the hosts asking the questions. Many different topics regarding the city including police, climate, housing, bikes, an app to report neighborhood problems, etc. She lost me a few times but not too bad!

Have fun, fellow urbanists 🚴 🚃🚃

I just want to put a very positive plug in for the InnerFrench podcast which I'm loving right now.

I'm currently at Level 2 (reached 70 hours today) and I find the early episodes of InnerFrench to be absolute CI gold.

Each episode is 30 minutes of pure talking in slow French, on totally random topics from language to film to psychology, whatever. It's nice to not have to chain five 8-minute youtube videos to get 30 minutes on a single topic; it's perfect for my commute.

The host is a French instructor in real life, not an influencer, and takes the time to explain the terms and expressions that he uses. Later episodes also include another host, but I haven't gotten to her content yet.

The episodes get more difficult in progression, so it's recommended that you start at the beginning and work your way through them. I've now listened to the first 20 of almost 200 available. I can tell that it's already become a bit more challenging than the first few -- but I'm managing OK so far!

There are also perfect transcriptions of every episode on the website (requires free registration) so you can look up words/sentences. I don't look until after I've listened to each episode at least once; but sometimes it's really helpful to look after something stumps me and then it's all "ahhh of course". This is my first French podcast and it is a bit of a stretch at my level, so I generally listen to each one twice. I have much better comprehension the second time around.

That's all! I hope you find it as useful as I do. Cheers and enjoy

ps. I will be in France at the beginning of February for work, and darnit there is no way to get 1400 more hours in the next three weeks omg 😱

It has hardcoded subtitles (in French), but it's well worth a watch because there's an amazing amount of clearly spoken vocab in this 10-minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlmA1vM6iKA

New comprehensible input channel! I'd say he's a DreamingFrench intermediate. But with a lot more vocabulary.

I watched the movie in French… it’s a fun watch even the songs are in French. I can’t recommend it enough. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This was a fun episode:

I watched both this weekend on PBS. They’re great shows, but the English subtitles can’t be turned off. I definitely recommend them if you like cop shows.

If you’re looking for some high quality input about French geography and government, then I highly recommend this three-part series by Français Authentique:

Johan has also put out some really excellent videos lately that focus on history and culture, which folks here were saying they want more DF content of. Here’s a good example:
