Just so you know, you've been missed. Happy to hear that you're well, and that it's simply life keeping you away from us.

fantastisch! that is the BEST explanation of any language i've ever heard!

i would be ever so grateful if you would write an entire book on the french language in exactly the same style - i can guarantee you at least ONE customer :D

but seriously - i love learning about language in this way - direct words and phrases have a hard time sticking in my mind, but when i am able to learn the history of a word or phrase, it just becomes that much more interesting, and worthy of remembering.

oh, and i forgot to mention, that i had noticed that the woman's language seemed so clipped that i sometimes wondered if the recorder had abruptly cut her off, whilst the man's pronunciation of things had seemed italian to me - i have just read a book about josephine bonaparte, and had wondered if the man on the cd might be from an area close to corsica.
