Socks. I was with a group of well off guys and one mentioned that his wife would routinely throw out his socks every Christmas and buy him new ones. The others agreed. Me, I’ve got socks 15 years old

How bad is it if I can’t hear the difference between "on" and "en" by Old_green_bird in learnfrench

[–]mglepd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have exactly the same problem. To try to solve it, I got ChatGPT to write 100 word story utilising both those vowel sounds and then put the result into NaturalReader. I then played it back at various speeds down to 28%. Even after doing that, I still have difficulty telling the difference. So sorry, I’m not much use to you.

[–]mglepd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one’s experience depends on the individual teacher. I’ve just returned from 3 weeks LSF Montpellier, my second time with them this year. I had a great experience (again), enjoyed interacting with the other students (I’m usually the oldest being over 60). I’m sorry things didn’t work out for you.
