    David, you have just described my problem in a nutsehell. After watching this video, it seems you know me better than I know myself, or I would already have been a fluent French speaker. You have a great gift and a unique approach.

    This method is working. It helped that narrator has humor. It’s getting easier to understand the words after three cycles.
