I always say this to my daughter (I'm trying to teach her french too). But if this is more of a general statement, is that a bit of a weird way to speak to a child then? I.e. to tell them to go and brush their teeth.

Merci

In this sentence - I can hear "impatient" - without the e.
Je pense que les hints (? en francais) sont pour la dernière éxércise?
Hi, it's not clear to me from the instructions whether you're meant to attempt the dictees after only one listen, or whether it's better to listen more than once. Is there a guideline here, or is it just left to the student to choose?
Thanks
