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.
On peut dire "pour l'eternité, mais pas "pour une heure". On doit dire "pendant une heure".
Comment utiliser ce mot "pour" et le mot "pendant" en context du temps?
Pendant longtemps, pour longtemps, ils se disent, tout les deux.
Not sure who to ask this question, or if it is the wrong box.
How is that I can read French, paper, books etc, but have problems with speaking and writing the language.
I really would like an answer as my feedback is not really helpful
how can i understand that 'the last letter ' in one word is silence or not?
Bonjour l'équipe
Pourquoi le mot "bassin" a été utilisé dans la texte au lieu de " piscine" ? Dans quelles circonstances on utilise chaque mot ?? Dans les phrases finales, pourquoi "la piscine" n'est pas accepté par l'outil ?
Cette langue est inutilement très compliqué et vraiment très énervante! Désolée, mais c'est le vérité :(
Hi, there is a little problem because the neighbour's name is spelled "Viviane" the first time and then "Vivianne" the second time :-)
In the lesson above the audio for “On veut qu'il sache ce qu'on ressent.”. Sounds out the “ent” part of “ressent”. I was expecting to hear just “resse”. Could you comment?
Lots of the translation inferred the conditional ie. "ils nageaient jusqu'à la bouée" , "They used to swim ..." your translation "They would swim up to the bouy". They would swim..., should it not be "Ils nageraint. This is extremely confusing
