What is the difference between lui and le when 'Je lui telephone'

Or are there specific verbs for indirect and direct?

Whew! I listened to this section a dozen times and was not anywhere close to that answer! 

Maybe consider adding ¨hollywoodien¨ or something similar to the pre-lesson hints...?

Hi, 

I made several errors with my phrasing choices and was wondering if any of the following could have been correct:

2. It was quite difficult and daunting at times - Could you use bien instead of plutôt/assez to mean quite?

3. Could you said "je compte desormais lire un livre en français plusieurs fois par an."?

Thanks!

When would you use ressentir instead of se sentir? 

I listened to this sentence loads of times trying to see if there was any hint of an ellision ( "je serai z-enfin" ). There was not, and thus I concluded that it must have been "serai" not "serais".  Is no ellision used after "serais" ?

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on écrit "ma sœur ou moi allumions une bougie à tour de rôle" C'est seulement une des sœurs qui fait la tâche.. donc , logiquement "allumer" serait au singulier???????

The sentence starting with - 

Oui, le buffet est ouvert - 

Do you not pronounce the second syllable of buffet?

Hi. There used to be a button to repeat the exercise once you'd finished it? At this level it's really useful to be able to do that.

To be sure, a romantic image !  I had a little problem with the female voice , which is normal for me because of loss of hearing in the higher frequencies.   That is not a complaint.  Today, I decided to listen again after completing the exercise, this time without translating in my head.  It was slow enough that I could do that with ease.  It seemed like a breakthrough!   I think I will continue with this approach.
