Je comprends le français... un peu.
The man on the Pimsleur Listen and Learn French tapes sounds so... forlorn when the woman he is speaking with runs off to talk to a friend...
"Vous parlez français très bien!" There's a pause, and you respond, "Merci." Then another pause. You repeat. "Merci." Another pause.
"Au revoir!" she shouts and waves back at you as she turns and runs off to talk to a friend she sees.
"Au revoir, mademoiselle," you say, a twinge of sadness in your voice. "Au revoir," you repeat, a little quieter, almost to yourself, as you watch her run off across the wet sidewalk, clutching her thin jacket around her narrow shoulders with one hand, the other pressing her hat to her tête as the wind tries to pull it off.
The rain that patters on the sidewalk falls a little harder as you watch her go.
THIS IS THE END OF TODAY'S UNIT. WHEN YOU CONTINUE WITH THE NEXT UNIT TOMORROW, PLEASE START ON TRACK 2.
