I officially finished CD5 of Michel Thomas French last night, and now I'm not sure if I should plow on straight to CD6 or wait for the direct/indirect pronoun thing to sink in some more. Although it's similar to Spanish, it has always tripped me up there as well, so I don't want to rush it. I should probably find some sort of grammar practice online before moving on.
I also watched two episodes of French in Action between yesterday and today. I'm at the part where they're talking about jobs and how some French last names are based on it, and I couldn't help but feel geekily excited when Mireille quotes Assimil's "My tailor is rich" (The famous line from their first book on English for French Speakers) when asking about Robert Taylor's last name. This morning's episode featured the phrase "métro, boulot, dodo." It just so happened that the podcast I listened to today from One thing in a French day was on that topic, so it was a really nice coincidence. Couldn't have planned it better if I tried!
