No two ways about it, listening practice is everything. Took me a while to get my lug (ear to an English person) around this dictation but pleased with the results.

Why do you say 'Il a des yeux bleu clair' but 'la tenue est bleu marine', and not bleu marin?

How do you say this in french:

'Last year, I went to Italy on holiday, with my family and we stayed at a hotel. We went to a beach and swam in the sea. We played in the sand, together, and built a large sandcastle. In the afternoons, we visited monuments and went to churches. For dinner, we always ate pizza and it was delicious. It was amazing!'

Perhaps "en posant" is used in a physical sense ?

Thank you again for all your help !

I understand that one uses the present tense for the immediate future, but when does the future lose its 'immediate' character? I would think that tomorrow is NOT immediate, and would require the future tense!

No question here, just: Merci pour vôtre efforts et meilleurs voeux pour un Joyeux Noël et un bon Nouvel An! :)

There is a concealed difficulty in this lesson for English speakers who don't know how to congregate the irregular verb "hurt".  The examples provided are very good and demonstrate the problem, but i needed a good English grammar book to correctly identify the problem.

hurt       (v           pr))

hurts     (v           pr3)

hurt       (v           pt)

hurt       (v           pp)
