How to use the transcripts and translations

for beginners, start by reading the transcript, and use the translation if necessary. Study the words and the expressions you are not familiar with. Then, listen to the audio, small section after small section, without reading the transcript, and see how much you understood.
When this is done, read the transcript again, and look at what you didn’t understand, and analyze why you didn’t get it; are the words still too new for you? Is it a problem of pronunciation?
Finally, listen to the audio while reading the transcript, then train on reading the text out loud, mimicking my voice. Pay attention to the liaisons, to the places where I pause, to the intonation.

For intermediate and advanced students, listen to the audio without reading the transcript. Repeat the whole listening a couple of times, you’ll see, you’ll understand better with each repetition. Try to repeat out loud the words you are not getting, and write down phonetically what you hear, even if it makes no sense. Then check with the transcript, and the translation if necessary; why didn’t you understand? Is it a problem of vocabulary or pronunciation?
Finally, with the help of the audio, read the transcript out loud, mimicking my voice as if you were an actor, trying as much as possible to keep the same rhythm and the same intonations.

The more advanced students among you can have fun by translating the transcript, and comparing their translation with mine.
