The first time
The first time through many of these clips I do listen again and again. Though others, I seem to recognize words faster, it’s just a question of how fast I can type.
I’ve left the tool requiring exact inputs for the French (spelling, accent marks). This makes it a tool for DALF or DELF takers. It may feel challenging as a beginner. For me, as a beginner I often type through what I hear, and then will use the “hint” button (the lightbulb icon) below the quiz to check. More or less, I feel pretty good with. When I’m on my phone, on the other hand, I definitely use the accents as much as I can. It’s simply easier to type there.
What are you finding with these quizzes? What about after the first time, second time…

So, the first time you listen, it’s normal not to understand everything. You have to listen twice, three times, four times. And the more you listen, the more you will understand, it’s logical. And if ever there are words, or excerpts that you can’t understand, you can use the transcription of this podcast.
