Thanks Daragh, and to you.

I borrowed the countdown idea from following your log. I am fully confident that you
will make it based on your progress, and I would be thrilled to make it as well.

BBC Languages site - French

BBC - French homepage

Disappointed to see that French Steps is no longer available and that the videos for
Talk Franch are not available outside over here, but I do see some new content since my
last visit ages ago.

Listening -
foundation skills

"Finding the way" - revise and test - proves one does not have to understand everything
to understand enough.

Also started "Ma France" - looks very nicely produced.   Using both the French and
English subtitles.

Ma France

Learned a bit about the îles du Frioul. Aussi, pour une tartiflette, on a
besoin d’une paire de chaussettes
(though it is not entirely clear why).
