Comment on comprehension

I really enjoy the new conversations between Aurélie and Céline.   I understand about 90% on the first pass, then I read the transcription to confirm what I heard and to discover what I did not.  Usually, it is a new word or expression for me.  I then listen several more times until I understand everything including the grammar.  I also appreciate the fact that the dialog is broken into smaller chunks, in this case two.  Doing so seems to make it less overwhelming. 

On the other hand, I understood perhaps 10 % of the "generique", despite listening several times.  Since there was no transcription, it was not possible to investigate what was being said.

 

All in all, a great learning opportunity.   Bravo!

Bonjour Frank,

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm very happy you're enjoying this exercise and I will definitely share all your comments with the rest of the team! (The "générique" is only a little extra to help users visualise what the TV series looked like).

Bonne journée !
