Thanks for your question, Shirley! I've listened to a few videos on YT and some previews on the News in Slow French and I wouldn't consider this resource really good. Then again, it depends what you want to use it for.

The flow of the sentences (and the pronunciation of certain words) is completely unnatural, with the intonation not following normal French-speaking patterns. So that's a horrible resource if you haven't gotten used to the rhythm of French.

If you're using it mostly for the vocabulary, however, it seems to be quite good for news vocab. It's intermediate but well introduced and the possibility to hover over certain words to get the translation is quite good.

I definitely wouldn't pay $20 per month for it but if the news is a topic you enjoy reading/talking about, then it can be useful indeed.

Hope that helps!
