Description

The specialist vocabulary in this piece is difficult to grasp. The word lousse isn't even in Le Grand Robert. Anyone know it?

Full of idiomatic expressions, this sketch "Où l’amène-t-on, la France?
Où nous mènent-ils? Qui on gêne?
 

Although the speed of this patter song makes it a Level 3, notice how clear is the diction of this music hall entertainer !
 

In between the scientific bits from the presenter, the conversations show well what we're trying to get the ear to pick up - the style of idiomatic French. Not easy.

Obviously, it's a Level-3. But once you've picked up what he's getting at, you laugh

This is a Level-3 because of the sound quality which is of its time. It's not too difficult, though. Keep the subtitles switched off at first!

I expected this to be a Level 2, perhaps less. In fact it makes quite a difficult listening exercise. The better the dubbing, the harder the film is to follow. This is very well done.

When I prepare subtitles, I don't leave 'holes' as I do on the sonsenfrancais transcriptions. However, there are places in this extract where my ear fails. Look out for them, and see if you can correct my version !

The dialogue is fast and supposed to be idiomatic. But in fact it's a sort of transatlantic French, nothing like as difficult as the real thing. Still a Level-3, though

What makes the first half difficult to follow is not just the speed, but also the incoherence of the presentation. Hang on in there, though. By contrast, the second half offers some challenges of vocabulary, like 'qui en fit et ses supports et ses suppôts' !

I quote this because it gives us a chance to exercise our ears on the sort of muttered dialogue that passes for realism nowadays. It's a Level-3, but note that it's very easy to follow. We don't have trouble guessing what's going on, do we ?

Interesting that as soon as pronunciation deviates from Paris standard we're foxed. Where on earth did these guys learn their French?  And are they part of the Francophone community ?
Level 3 and a bit
