26 Minutes of Daily French Dialogues (A1-A2) | Handle a Landlord Who Never Answers

After this episode, you’ll be able to report a leak, follow up with a landlord, ask for a repair date, and send a complaint letter in French. This is 12 short French conversations at A1-A2, spoken slowly by two voices, with every French sentence on screen, so it works for focused listening, for reading along, or in the background. This episode is for A1-A2 learners who understand more French than they can actively say. If you want to hear everyday French used in real housing problems and practical conversations, this gives you useful phrases without turning practice into a grammar lesson. 🎧 In this episode, you'll practise: • “Vous avez un autre numéro ?” — asking for another contact number • “Depuis ce matin, ça fuit.” — reporting a leak clearly and simply • “Le propriétaire ne répond plus.” — explaining that the landlord has stopped answering • “Il me faut son accord.” — understanding what needs the landlord’s approval • “Vous pouvez témoigner pour moi ?” — asking someone to support your case • “Mes appels restent sans réponse.” — writing a firm follow-up message • “J’ai besoin d’une date.” — pushing for a precise appointment • “Vous pouvez me l’envoyer ?” — asking for a template or document • “Je ne suis pas d’accord.” — refusing an unannounced visit calmly but firmly The episode is built around a situation many learners may actually face: a landlord who never answers when there is a leak, damage, or money still owed. You hear how to call, explain the urgency, collect proof, and insist on a clear next step without sounding aggressive. Keep listening for the later conversation where a tenant refuses to let the landlord enter without notice and asks for a proper written appointment. 📝 How to learn more from this episode: • First, listen once straight through and follow the housing problem from one conversation to the next without stopping. • On the second listen, pause after lines you could really use, especially the ones about leaks, dates, messages, and proof, and repeat them aloud with the same rhythm. • Pick three sentences from the list above and imagine your own apartment problem: say them as if you were on the phone or writing the message yourself. • Come back tomorrow and replay the follow-up and complaint parts: practical phrases stick best when you hear them again after a short break. Français à l'oreille exists to help as many people as possible actually speak French in real life, not only understand it when they hear it. 💬 Your turn: finish this sentence in French in the comments: “Mes appels restent…” Subscribe to Français à l'oreille for new everyday conversations to listen to and reuse in your own French. #LearnFrench #FrenchListening #LandlordProblems
