Yes, that's not the issue because there were two that fit the criteria the 17.30 and 22.

So I did some of the listening exercisers from this same book today but again got frustrated. Pour example, there is
an exercise with six pictures and on the recording a sentence for each picture and you have to indicate if they match or not. Number 3 has a picture of a calendar page with DÉCEMBRE 18 in big letters and a cake with candles. The recording says "Son anniversaire est décembre 18." So yes, they match .... except not according to the answers at the back. Am I losing my mind? I suppose this could just be a typo but then it doesn't give me much confidence in the book as a whole. And then the next "listening" exercise has questions with multiple choice answers of which you must pick the best one. Simple A1-esque stuff like "Comment-vous appelez-vous?" and "Quel âge avez-vous?". But the recording just reads these questions. So I don't understand how it can be a listening exercise when the text is right there in front of you to read? Surely it would be better if it was just the spoken question without the written one and you had to choose the right answer. Meh. So anyway, I think I'll put that aside and try to find some other DELF exam questions after New Year. Or proceed with this one but gingerly. Happy New Year everyone. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

As I got back from my holiday yesterday today was my first official day of TAC 2015.
INDONESIAN. (Team Rare) Today I did: Unit 1 of Teach Yourself Indonesian. I have this and Colloquial Indonesian so I think I'll just alternate days between the two and see if one or the other is clearly better. These first half a dozen or maybe 10 units are largely revision for me. Indonesian is a special case as I am doing it somewhat for work (although personal interest too) and my boss intends to study it also. It's not necessary for work but we are embarking on a major collaboration with our Indonesian equivalents and so it would be "nice" to have some more of the language. He's asked me to advise him on the best way to do that, so finally all hose years of procrastinating on language learning blogs and boards will pay off. ;-) So I am a bit reluctant to throw myself into a serious plan until I know how that will play out (perhaps work will put in some money for tutors/resources? I really don't know). So for the next couple of weeks I'm just going to gently go through these books. I do have a fair few Indonesian resources including children's books and novels so if I feel like it I can always dip in to those. I've pre-ordered Glossika Indonesian but it's only 25% complete so I expect it'll be a while. FRENCH: - three or four units of the beginner stream as review on Babbel - dictation of the first 50 or so sentences of Glossika French and correcting mistakes. I think I'll do this again next week to hopefully see improvement. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
