I have just finished listening to the second episode! Its so weird and I must say that I found it hard not to laugh at the beginning and I was a bit cynical at first. However it does seem to be working so far!

LOL Gavin - you're full of compliments! No, seriously - if you find it weird listening to the relaxation stuff, I find it even weirder listening to myself! And my wife just laughs. The other students who did it last time round do seem to think it worked, so I suppose you just need to try to get into it! Bonne chance!

Can't think of any verbs! The verbcast is really helping! I was amazed how quickly I could answer the questions in the 2nd verbcast, almost without thinking! It's great!

Bien fait, tout le monde!! Hope no-one minds me correcting you on here, but I suppose it defeats the purpose if I don't. Lisa - just watch - it's always jouer DE with an instrument, so you say "je joue du saxophone".
One other wee thing - if you're posting your three sentences as requested in today's text, can you post them as a comment on VERBcast episode 3 please?
Posted by: Mark | April 21, 2006 at 08:26 PM

Elle finit ses devoirs

Très bien Alison et Ian!

Sorry - I was getting mixed up with my days - you were all quite right to be posting your three sentences here! I'm getting confused with which day it is because I'm a couple of days ahead with posts and text messages!
Posted by: Mark | April 22, 2006 at 09:31 AM
Still catching up but heres my 3 sentences:
On joue le volley tous les samedis
