So fast!

It would be so helpful with exercises like this if we could slow the playback down. I play it 20 times and still struggle at times.

Does anyone know of any websites where you can paste the sentence in and adjust the playback?

Thanks

sentir bon

When I see the sentence, She smells good, does it mean she smells good (because she doesn't have a cold and her nose is working normally) or it is because she just took a bath (and she doesn't stink?). Do both these meanings work for Elle sent bon?

Pronunciation of "middle e"

It seems that with some adverbs formed by adding -ment to the feminine adjective form the "middle e" is pronounced and others not (example: lentement (not pronounce) and fortement (pronounced). Am I hearing this correctly? If so, is there a rule when to pronounce and when not to?

Thanks!
