I remember finding an audiobook of L'étranger read by Camus himself -- and which I really enjoyed. Look for it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Time for a little Assimil Roumain update for me.
I'm at lessons 75 passive / 24 active. During lesson 23, I made 23 mistakes. First, I thought that was a lot -- even if some are due to the fact that various translations are possible --, but then I realized that I actually got 133 words right out of 156, which is over 85%! So I'm ok. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I seem to have been doing the active wave differently to most people here. What I have been doing is based on the Spanish instructions for the active wave in lesson 49 in my francés sin esfuerzo: "Despues de haberla escuchado - si dispone de las grabaciones - y haberla leído en francés en voz alta, pase al texto castellano intentando traducirlo al francés sin, por supuesto, fijarse en el texto de la página de la izquierda. Si encuentra alguna dificultad párese, busque y repítalo de nuevo" Translation: after having listened to the recordings and having read the lesson in French out loud, go through the Spanish text trying to translate it to French without of course looking at the text on the left page. If you find any difficulty stop, and try it again. I've basically been doing the active wave as per the above instructions. I read and listen to the French text once each, then I re-read it taking particular note of the spelling and accents, then I cover up the left hand side and translate into French sentence by sentence, actually physically writing it out so that I commit. If I make a mistake I restart. I have added in a different step, in that at the end I record myself, translating it on the fly again (without looking at my translation or the french text), then replay it back to myself and compare my pronunciation with that of the speakers on the MP3s. So finally to answer your question, because I go over the French text first before translating I have been making relatively few mistakes. What are the instructions for the active wave in other peoples courses? Also to your other question, yes my course has a lot of typographical errors, especially in the exercise and fill in the blank parts of the book.

^ The instructions are the same in the English version, New French With Ease. Edited by tastyonions on 14 February 2013 at 11:26pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yeah almost the same except in the English version it doesn't say to redo it if you make a mistake. "After listening to the French text again and reading through it aloud, cover it up and try to reproduce it from the translation opposite. Check through afterwards" 1 person has voted this message useful |
