Sarah! Sounds like Ça va to me!

I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".

Bonjour Martin,

Thank you for your feedback! Several members of the French team did listen to it and found they could hear "Sarah". However, we've decided to record it again, just to make sure. ;-)

Merci et bonne journée !

Sounds like "Sarah" to me.

Merci! I think as usual it must be my "French ear" not trained enough yet. However I do appreciate the newer, slower, more pronounced recordings. They are superb! I know it is not the way French people speak, but we will get to that in time. Thanks again

Ma grand-mère s'appelait Sarah, mais tout le monde l'appelait Sally ! Je ne sais pas ! Aussi le nom de ma mère s'appelle Ann, mais tout le monde l'appelait Nancy ! ?  C'est un mystère pour moi. I hope that you enjoyed this very good information ! This was 2 nd World War mix up !
