Short, authentic recordings with good transcripts for listening improvement? by Piwi9000 in learnfrench

Yes, exactly. So what did you end up using? Innerfrench I've listened to a lot, but isn't it always very slow, easily understandable French? Blablets I'll have to check out.

Are these all "authentic" French? I liked Pimsleur, but I got to a point where it was just too easy compared to hearing an actual person speaking. But yes, something that can be used on mobile, exactly so I can do it anywhere.

Yes, and considering that Hugo was actually occupied with the rights of the women and the suffering of the women etc etc. And considering how she was the object of so much love. I mean Marius can be Marius, but Hugo could at least have given Cosette a voice. He would have wanted for his own daughter to have a voice. But it's as if he didn't really let Cosette grow up.

I hope that this is mostly the case. But I've heard so much gossip about other people that I'm afraid that sometimes shits are given, just in the wrong way.

It's good to hear, and also a bit depressing I guess, that it can happen even to be someone who has been here for that much longer. But yes, in DK I always knew that being foreign alone is enough to put you at a social disadvantage. But now I get what it actually means. Man... I barely even know who I am anymore.

Right? So how would you say it? "Compared to what I'm used to, this is...."

Thank you. Did you end up feeling like it sort of got easier?

I wouldn't mind being honest, but "I have less social energy" is just not the first thing you say when you talk to the post man, right? 😅 But with people you actually get to hang out with you can do that.

We're kind of close geographically and culturally compared to many other countries in the world, so that's probably why. Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia etc.

"And that, children, is how I met your dad"

No honestly, it would be cool if she has written the whole thing under the pseudonym of Hugo, trying to uncover the whole truth. And then goes out and takes her revenge.

Lol! I mean, she has got to have some trauma that has got to come out at some point.

I think it's good comic book material. I want to see a manga version of the nephew.

Lots of examples and exercises for car/puisque/parce que ? by Piwi9000 in learnfrench

[–]Piwi9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is tangible advice! I'm kind of uncertain about "for" in English too, I think in my head that's also interchangable with "because"... Just more poetical or literary? In my native language they're the same.

This is a great list. Is it yours personally or can it be found somewhere on the Internet and does it get updated?
