  1. Question 1 of 8
    1. Question

    Let’s get ready to listen!

    Please read through the new lines and (only if you want to) look at the grammar explanations below. Then move on. If you have a grammar question, put it in the comments and I’ll do my best respond.

    • How many words here are new to you?

  2. Question 2 of 8
    2. Question

    Here’s where the learning starts!

    Please listen as many times as it takes to get to 80% comprehension. If there are words that are difficult, use this trick : https://youtu.be/o99Ma4Ml8JY

    https://fluentlistener.com/wp-content/uploads/Tanguy_Exercise_2A.mp3

    • What percentage of the words do you hear now?

      If you did not get to 80% after 10 listens, that is okay. Move on to the next step. You will hear the missing words later, after your ears have had time to improve over the next few weeks.

  3. Question 3 of 8
    3. Question

    Here is a lesson to help you hear some things you may not have noticed.

    4. Question

    OK, now that you understand 80%, let’s make sure we can understand without the transcript. (If you need to peek, do so: it’s not cheating!)

    David, I get jumbled trying to pronounce every syllable : “de l’évier de la cuisine” What part stays silent? What part is smooshed together?

    Regarding the play controls: I just worked out to get a part to repeat with the bounds, the right bar has be slightly back from the end. It took me some time to work it out. Now I am using my new skill to refresh the Tanguy lesson. Quite a brilliant play control.

      Hi Michael, thank you for reminding me about the bug on the play bars. I think there is also a problem where you can’t hear the last half-second of the track. This is annoying and I need to get it fixed.

      On the pronunciation, let’s talk some time. I don’t have a clear recommendation for how to get started on that, but I might have some ideas for you after we speak about it. I sent my cell phone number here in France via an email to you a few minutes ago.

    Hello David,
    2 things:
    1) there is a transposition “la de” rather than “de la” in your grammar section: Je m’approche du bord la de falaise. (I am getting close to the edge of the cliff.)
    2) I was not hearing the “d” pronounced in “prends” in this section. I even couldn’t hear it when you were saying it slowly at the beginning. Can you clarify for me or was I just missing it?
    Thanks, ed

      Hello Ed,
      1) Good catch ! I just corrected the la de –> de la. Thank you for letting me know.
      2) Correct, that d is not pronounced. Good job on listening for that.
      Best regards, David

    Does anyone else hear “en tant q’en france”? I know it doesn’t make sense but this happens to me often when I hear French. The sounds are so similar.

      Hi Aaron,
      yes, I re-listened to that. Because of the ça right after enfant, the ear could hear the sound… enfance, which does sound similar to ‘en france.’ Keep working with the sounds, your ear will get better and better. Also, I don’t think that your question is about this but, just in case, I will confirm that, for a native speaker, there is no chance of confusion, because, for a native speaker, enfance and en france are just too different. I think that as you move forward, there will be less and less chance of confusion for you, too.
