err, non, Faut que vous faisez vos devoirs vous meme si vous voulez apprendre.

I'm getting a bit confused with the intro being in English and the English interjections at the moment. I'll listenh another couple of times and try to answer (just back from France after 15 years there so I really will try - how long have I got?).

Vous faites, pas vous faisez.

She spent some time in England. It's really difficult to pick out She understands how important is comprehension of others. I think I'll have to write out the questions and jot down the answers as I pick them out - it's getting a bit easier to hear.

[Jackdaw33]

I can hardly make out a word she says because of her accent. Clearly a southener.

[woofgang]

eh bien Jackdaw, c'est plus de quarante cing ans depuis je parlais francais

[jourdain2]

Jackdaw - I'm told I have developed a Charentaise accent (lived in La Vienne for 15 years), but have also been mistaken for une Alscienne by French folk. Is the teacher a Parisienne? No matter what, I'll write the questions down and perhaps we can both have a good go tomorrow - I've asked OH, whose French is also pretty good. ;)

[jourdain2]

Good effort, woof - keep going!

[Jackdaw33]

She doesn't sound Parisian to me. My French pen friend and his mother were Parisian and I could understand them perfectly but his father was from Alsace and I could never make out a word he said.

[Christine-Eriks]

I have 3 days to complete this so no rush. I know it's really difficult to understand her so please try your best. Even an answer to one question would help a lot!

4. je dois chercher les eleves de la cour

( she has to get them from the school yard and deliver them to the classroom and then she does something else quand les lecons sont terminees - boil and eat them or somethng)

5 pour aider la memorisation

6. contacte avec les eleves et peut-etre les parents

7 c'est d'abord - communiquer

because I am going deaf ( ! ! )
I have to concentrate on separating who is saying what with lip cues and it isnt such a big deal to do it in two languages ( took a few goes )

anyway you wanted a start - this is one

( I could give the times fo the answers if you want )

[woofgang]

jourdain, I did the A level at school and apart form a couple of visits to France in my misspent youth, have never needed it.

[Jackdaw33]

Good effort, PP. If there had been subtitles (in French) I would have had no problem.

[Christine-Eriks]

Thanks so much for the answer Peter!

[Christine-Eriks]

If anyone else can find the answer to 1-4 I'd be finished :)

I tried having a look, also been a long time since I studied some French at school/college/uni.

It is coming up that the video could not be decoded though.

"Vous faites, pas vous faisez. "

vous fassiez, actually :-)

Quite right, ichkeria, but the French tend to be somewhat blasé when it comes to using the subjunctive. Anyone who dares use the imperfect subjunctive is denounced for what he is, a pompous prat.

[Retrochic]

well if you want to be pedantic you would reply 'Tu doit faire tes devoirs toi -meme. As she is clearly a young person. The teacher has a southern Parisian 'common' accent. And no I won't be doing your homework how on earth do tyou expect to learn if you don't try yourself?
