Listening comprehension — IGCSE French - Foreign Language (0520) questions by topic

Listening comprehension in IGCSE French - Foreign Language works from played-twice audio contexts: an interview about food-waste charity work in Montreal, a radio-station report from Paris lycéens, and an announcement for a Pyrenees cycling race, plus a short image-matching task on cinema genres.

Identify, match and select are the recurring command words, each worth just 1 to 2 marks, so precision on a single detail decides the point. This page holds 74 real questions from 2025 papers. Practise listening in short bursts and submit each answer for instant marking, so you learn immediately whether a mis-heard name or number cost the mark, rather than only finding out weeks later.
