Seeking comparable Great Courses series in French and/or German - Todd's keyboard - 05-02-2025
Am a huge fan of Wondrium's Great Courses series (on just about any topic). Might anyone know of similar courses in French and/or German?
Not looking for courses that teach these languages. I'd like to try watching lectures on various topics taught in those languages.
thanks, Polly's glotboard

MOOC FUN is a big one for lectures in French
https://www.mooc-list.com/initiative/fun
Also OpenClassrooms
You could try French universities, like SciencesPo and the Sorbonne.

Or L'Ecole du Louvre

When I first signed up for Audible they had a bunch of Great Courses available for free. I chose one somewhat at random and started listening while on a road trip with my then 10 year old son. It was on Egyptology. The content was fantastic, the lecturer was fantastic and my son and I listened in awe for 6-8 hours as we drove across the state, played a few hockey games and drove back home. We still talk about that lecture.

You might try Spotify or Audible and see if you can change your language preference to see if you can get different results. Of course, you might also need to speak French or German to know how to search correctly.

Bonne idée. Just checked. Audible now has a Canadian web site which has an option for English or French. Will be checking the offerings.
Merçi beaucoup.
