FYW 219: French dictation (replay from 22/08/2020 live session)

If you haven"t taken the challenge yet, grab your pen and paper and test yourself with the free French dictation I ran live in August! This is a great opportunity for you to brush-up your French listening, grammar and phonetic skills. As always, I"ll also comment on and explain a few tricky points ;-)

The text used for the dictation is below, no cheating! Do it by yourself first!

You can also find the video recording (and downloadable notes) on my YouTube channel.

Text for the dictation was:

Ma grand-mère se rappelait :

« Petits, nous jouions dehors tous les jours et tout le jour avec les autres enfants du quartier. Nous grimpions aux arbres. Je me rappelle qu"on volait les belles cerises du voisin. Si quelqu"un nous voyait, nous partions en courant.

En grandissant, la vie est bien sûr devenue plus sérieuse. Nous étudiions avec un maître strict parce que nos parents rêvaient d"une vie meilleure pour nous."
