French was divided into 6 parts, and it now had 22 regions. Its equivalent to 13 in the U.S. It helps with resources when combined.
Love this bilingual reading exercise! So helpful. I agree that it would be easier to have the translation as a paragraph under the French paragraph with the grammar available on touch. If you developed the sound as well, it would be an even more incredible resource to those of us who struggle with pronunciation.
Many thanks, this is interesting news. And these articles, with the translation just a click away, are very, very helpful. Many thanks for taking the trouble to set them up.
