Suggest that you add oral drills for new verb formsSince learning a new language, especially once as inflected in different forms of pronunciation compared to English (or, say, Japanese, which I speak), involves considerable oral drilling (at least when learned in school), may I suggest that you add a recording that functions as an oral drill of new verb forms at, say, the B2 level and above?
For example, an oral drill of 'e-' + endings: -us, -us, -ut, -ûmes, -ûtes, -urent. A strong-voice emphasis on practicing pronunciation would I think help enormously in achieving a correct understanding of voicing the specific forms, because while the examples sentences are good, the quality of speakers is sometimes uneven and sometimes verbs are quickly slurred into the next word, making it difficult/impossible to hear the correct pronunciation.
In the above examples, "Soudain, ils eurent l'impression d'être suivis" has "eurent" quickly sliding into "l'impression." As the pronunciation of this plural verb form is indistinct (though of course it's probably perfectly natural French in the context of the full French sentence), practicing correct pronunciation is difficult.
So, to repeat, a stand-alone recording of something like 'e-' + endings: -us, -us, -ut, -ûmes, -ûtes, -urent and or B2 forms would be helpful.
Is there a difference between using
etre a + moi/toi/lui/...
and
possessive pronous?
Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other?
For example:
Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.
Those sunglasses are not his.Would it also be appropriate to say: Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas à eux.How to do Negation with Interrogation of Pronominal verbs?
Like in this sentence: Te laves-tu?
How to make this in negation?
I really enjoyed the extra space in this i used je me suis vraiment amusé l'espace supplémentaire why it is marked wrong for enjoying something we use s'amuser please explain
Your pronunciation of Saoul sounds to me like soo in English, with no "a" sound.
Why is it 'conquérir le reste de la Gaule' but then just 'les peuples de Gaule'. I think I've seen the same thing with France in sentences - sometimes 'la France', sometimes just 'France'.
It seems a bit harsh to be marked wrong for merely omitting an apostrophe. I wrote quelle fasse and not qu'elle fasse which I thought was almost correct.

Why is "Je lui envoye une massage" instead of "Je l'envoye une massage?" Thanks
Oh la la! In the last phrase of this dictée, "Ils ont eu le droit de manger," it's hard to understand "ont eu."
Was the speaker's mouth full of chocolate eggs? ;)
But seriously, a liaison between "ont_eu" would've made it clearer. Nonetheless, it does seem rather "frenchy" that liaison's aren't necessarily obligatory, but rather subjective, yeah???
