Hello there,

What is the difference/nuance between this two sentences?

Je ne suis jamais allée à Marseille. 

Cecile, 

I believe, 'Alice never listens to you.' would be:

Alice ne t'ecoute jamais.        Sorry, I don't know how to put accents with my keyboard

hello, 

i know the verb écouter takes a direct object and in the example above (Je n'écoute jamais le prof) it's rather obvious. in another lesson however, there's an example like (tu n'écoutes jamais Alice).. my question is: how can i tell the meaning of the sentence, i mean when i read the example i thought someone is saying to Alice that she never listens, not the actual meaning of someone is saying to another that he\she never listens to Alice!
