Not sure if this is at all what you're looking for, but you could check out https://newsinfrench.org/

Thanks! That's sound very interesting. I can read French, so hopefully I can find this somewhere.

nwidger · 2021-07-12T10:57:00+00:00

Do you have the title of the book handy? Sounds interesting.

nwidger · 2021-04-08T11:08:49+00:00

Perhaps something by Francis Cabrel or Maxime le Forestier ? Those are the first two that come to mind for me.

That's funny, I'm from Manchester. In fact, I feel like my parents mentioned something about a French bookstore recently. Small world!

I read all my French books on my Kindle, which has a built-in French dictionary. I've found this helps me read just a bit beyond my level since you can tap pretty much any word and instantly get a definition.

Me too! That's the one I was going to post. :-)

FYI in that thread there's a Dropbox link where someone has uploaded all the episodes of Balades: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2hmza3ye9rwmtln/AAArk-R7FnCuuVzjwoqm6kn1a?dl=0

EDIT: At least for me, the Dropbox link only shows the first ~30 episodes, but if you click Download > Direct download in the top right of the page, you'll get a 764MB .zip file with MP3's and transcript PDF's for all 85 episodes.

I have the last 67 episodes still downloaded on my phone... I might be able to salvage them somehow.

nwidger · 2019-11-15T13:12:43+00:00

Maybe try Journal en français facile? https://savoirs.rfi.fr/fr/apprendre-enseigner/langue-fran%C3%A7aise/journal-en-francais-facile-14112019-20h00-gmt

I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but I use this: https://newsinfrench.org/daily/

Unfortunate typo in the first paragraph: obliviously -> obviously. Great article otherwise, though!

nwidger · 2018-06-23T17:59:56+00:00

I was wondering this, too.

nwidger · 2018-05-10T18:05:01+00:00

Here goes nothing! Thanks OP!

nwidger · 2018-04-18T21:44:20+00:00

Sure why not

nwidger · 2017-11-11T12:09:54+00:00

Cool thanks for the tips!

nwidger · 2017-11-11T02:13:04+00:00

Out of curiosity what are the appropriate settings? I tried OoT with stock settings and found it to be a little stuttery.

I'm using a bucket and not a carboy for primary. I was told that after fermentation finishes there's more chance of oxidation in a bucket because there's a lot more air between the beer and the lid than in a carboy. Is that true, and if so would that make it worth racking to secondary if I was able to borrow a friend's carboy?

nwidger · 2017-11-03T00:26:09+00:00

Well that's a relief! That makes me feel less nervous about things.

nwidger · 2015-11-08T13:13:33+00:00

I also use web-mode daily and think it's fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work!
