How does this one compare to yesterday’s clip? We pick up the pace with lengthy (for this series) 17 second clip. Only slightly faster, mind you. Maybre you prefer something a bit faster.
At my level, I welcome this pace. My brain starts by saying “oh no, French!!” But then slowly I hear words and phrases, and I can follow along. Can you catch the main points? The year? the timeframe? The nth festival? The country? Try to catch it all.
This is of course, from 6 years ago, tomorrow the 83rd event will not begin. It’s still a great piece for learning French. Balades continues to be one of the best for A1-A2 learners of French! What do you think? Join us for the next quiz.
