How amazingly correct you are Iversen! 25 points to you! And to think all those other times you've popped in
to give moral support and such, so we'll throw in some steak knives for good measure too... Happy steak
eating!

No wonder it seems to be taking so long to get the hang of French. It seems that I've been studying Italian all this time!

There are a few mistakes in this song! Did you transcribe it yourself, or did you find the lyrics online?

Here are a few things to watch out for:

notre amour (not "notre amore")

chaque jour (not the plural "jours" - chaque is followed by a singular noun)

je vois (and not "je vous" - vous is the plural you)

ne me fais pas (and not "ne me fait pas", which is an incorrect conjugation of the imperative)

…there's more, but I don't want to overwhelm you. Let me know if you want more corrections! :)

This one by one of Québec's finest during that time. And this one is plenty syrupy, but the lyrics are right down
beginners alley - easy for us A1/A2 folks.

Tes Yeux - Nicole Martin

I wrote out the lyrics, so I'll share them here. They are in the video.

Quote:

Tes yeux, sont le miroir de notre amore
Tes yeux, sont ma lumière de chaque jours

Dans tes yeux, je vous l'image d'un bonheur
Que le temps ne peut éffacer de mon coeur

je suis à toi, tu peux me prendre
Ne me fait pas attendre

L'amour est là, qui nous appelle
La nuit sera si belle

Tes yeux, sont plus pur que ceux d'un enfant
Oui tes yeux, sont clair comme un jour de printemps

Dans tes yeux, j'ai découvert tant de merveille
J'y ai vu, briller un million de soleil

Vient près de moi, je me sent douce
Je veux sentir ta bouche

Ton souffle chaud sur mon visage
Prend moi, je suis ta femme

Tes yeux, sont le miroir de notre amore
Tes yeux, sont ma lumière de chaque jours

Dans tes yeux, je vous l'image d'un bonheur

Hey all,


Great French series... 'Un village français' with some actors from Engrenages

Overview quoted from the website below:

"This TV show describes the life of ordinary people in a small town of rural France
during the German occupation in WWII. It is extremely well documented, cleverly written
and very well played. The great plus of this series is that it meticulously analyzes
the mechanisms which brought some people to collaborate with the Germans and others to
resist, without judging, without falling into easy generalizations. The treatment of
the small communist cell's actions is particularly spot on. I highly recommend this
show to anyone interested in WWII, and anyone who wants to understand life during a
war, and how good people can come to serve a fascist regime"

--------------------------------------------

I unfortunately discovered that some really great series aren't offered with English
subtitles, one of them being "Un village français". Then I discovered this:

2009%E2%80%93/">Un village français (avec sous-titres en anglais)

(if the link doesn't work search: " Un village français dailyflix " and you will come
across the thread by Shamie- that's the right place)

Some really awesome person out there (Shamie) has systematically gone through almost
every episode (so far 4 and three-quarter seasons) and added in their own English
subtitles. From a glance they 'seem' effective. There isn't a lot of feedback within
the thread, but some very positive posts and no negative ones. I had a look and it
works no problems whatsoever. You just need to navigate your way around a barrage of
pop ups and adds. Despite being prompted to install this and that driver, it's BS, you
don't need to install anything from this website, and one of the play buttons is not a
play button but a 'trap' that pops up more adds.

To access an episode:
* Find the website/thread above
* Clink on the link to the episode you want
* Another window opens - DON'T - press play, but scroll down and click on "Continue to
video"
* (More pop up windows will open, just close them)
* another window opens with TWO play buttons - the REAL one is on the left
* Or you can get a hold of the .avi file by clicking 'download link' in red just below

I watch Un Village Francais on TV5 Monde, and it has English subs available. However,
that's not available to everyone, so thanks for the link. In fact, I might use them so I
can watch on my wife's tablet.
