Wrong: Écouter à la radio
Right: Écouter la radio
Explanation: The French verb
écouter means "to listen to" - the idea of the preposition "to" is included in the verb itself. But beginners often mistakenly add
à to it, in effect saying "to listen to to something," which is obviously incorrect.
J'écoute la radio - I'm listening to the radio
Il aime écouter les discours - He likes listening to speeches
Écouter is one of several French verbs that are not followed by a preposition whereas their English equivalents are.
