Dictation
Wednesday’s lesson:
Dictation
Today we picked up a text from French novelist Balzac ( 1799-1850 ) : “Le Père Goriot”. It is the story of Eugène de Rastignac, the character at the center of the action, a slightly idealistic and highly ambitious law student who lives in the same rundown boarding house in a seedy area of Paris as Goriot. This novel was written around 1834-1835. Just click below to listen to the dictation in French, and try to type what you hear. Good luck !

“Underground train stations are a plenty in France. This beautiful shot of Paris’s long and fast rail transport shows how advanced and modern the infrastructure in and around the city really is. This green and white painted train can carry hundreds of passengers each trip. And it could take you to the next station in a matter of a few seconds.
