Please help me how to use 'la voilà' le, les voilà etc. Is it an expression or something else? Thank you.
There seems to be a mistake on this page. Everything is in English!
the est-ce que sounds really wrong and nasally
Beyond the challenging dictée : What a beautiful, inspiring write-up. Falling deeper in love with French culture. Can't wait to google Coluche after supper. Merci!
Because "gens" is "people" - plural - I put "...les gens qui sortent constamment leurs portables de leurs poches". Is there anything in the pronuncation that I missed that showed it was definitely singular? Or is it a rule in french that you would always say "they took their phone from their pocket" unless they all owned several phones and were taking them out of more than one pocket each? Or...was my answer plausibly a correct hearing?
Could the postman say “je fais un boulot important”?
^ for this sentence, the speaker in the recording is a female voice. Wouldn't it be nouvelle if a woman is speaking?
Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir dire "primordial" ? Peut-être devrait-il être "prééminent", par exemple. 'Primordial' suggère quelque chose qui existe depuis la nuit des temps, quelque chose d'assez primitif, dont aucun ne sonne juste dans ce contexte.
HI, love the dictées. I get muddled with punctuation. The fluctuations of the tone of voice is not always a good hint, especially when we stop and start mid-sentence. Short of my listening to the entire dictée a few times prior to starting, and taking notes, do you have any hints that might help? Thanks.
We would profit if after the exercise we are given the sentences where we had made mistakes, or given a retrial to specifically work on them.
