Easy French movies

If you want to learn any language apart from your mother tongue, then regular practice is very must. We can not learn any language just by reading in books or joining class. We have to regularly do conversation in new language with our friend, family etc. Watching movies, serials & listening songs are also very effective of learning a language. Today I am sharing some french movies which you can watch to enhance your French.
These are easier to understand.


* Un Coeur en Hiver (1992)

* Il y a longtemps que je t’aime (2008)

* Potiche (2010)

* Les Choristes (2003)

* Les parapluies de Cherbourg (1964)

*Monsieur Ibrahim et les Fleurs du Coran (2002)

So when ever you have time do watch these films :)
