The best way to become confident and fluent in a language is total immersion for a good few months in a country where it is spoken. This is clearly impossible for most of us. But a good way of getting exposed to everyday French is through television. This is a link to the news section website of a French TV channel, Arte. It's actually a joint French-German project, which means its focus is very Eurocentric, making it more relatable than the usual French newscast. Another positive point is that their segments are quite short, about a quarter of an hour long.

It's easy to forget sometimes amongst the grammar and conjugation that what most people are aiming for when learning French is the ability to have proper conversations with other people and gain a keener appreciation of French culture. When you are not up for learning the past participles after a long day at work, dedicating fifteen minutes of your time to really concentrating on understanding one of these newsbites will make all the difference over time in your assimilation and enthusiasm for French.
