Difficult exercise

Question

I’m sure the speed was intentional, but it was a difficult listen! I still can’t catch the de in "prendre de tes nouvelles" (tho knew it ought to be there) nor the dès in the last sentence.

Accepted Answer

Hi Anne,
I have listened to the exercise and although it is a bit fast all the words are there.
Maybe other users could listen to it and let us know whether they agree with you?

Answer

I found the ‘pitch’ of voice the most difficult part to deal with !

Otherwise it sounded quick, but not extreme, and I could detect the individual words and sounds (not always on a single play through, although I understood the message well at first listening).

Answer

Thank you, Maarten,
The pitch did make me smile, probably Aurélie using her best am-dram talents, but I didn't think it impinged comprehension.
Students get used to a particular voice but in real life, people speak in various fashions.
Bonne Continuation !

Cécile, Pour être honnête, on a une amie française (en France) qui parle presque exactement de la même manière !
