Have eyes for
This story is great already. I’m not sure how plausible, but I’m excited to see where it goes. The poor prince looking in at a beeswax doll and falling in love. I love both the expressions, they are the same in English, it seems. Have eyes for and fall in love. And both are new to me in this snippet. If you can hear these love expressions in the exercise, maybe you’re ready for love in Paris (or Menton, if that’s what you prefer).
If you’re just joining us as a beginner, I recommend you start with the first dfepisode of Balades. Follow along daily for new clips.
How did you find today’s clip compared to yesterday’s clip? I tend to be most comfortable when the clip is around 150wpm. I love Balades for my current level, around A1 (hopefully progressing to A2). Hopefully you’re enjoying these clips too. Even when there’s a fast clip, it’s still manageable. The right amount of challenge. What do you think? Join us for the next quiz.
