Intonation of the speakers
This question relates to:French lesson "Que + [inverted statement] ? = What ... ? (French Questions)"
Asked 2 years ago

Hi Shabbychic45Michele,
Thanks for pointing this out, I have changed the audio on some of the sentences which you will agree are now better.
Bonne Continuation!

On some, I agree there is little intonation change, but not on all. However, as all these questions start with a question word, there is no need for the speaker to rely on intonation to make sure they are understood as questions.
