Donc c'est facile! T'as eu de la chance! 
Documentaries are good, they are slowly spoken, and again, have good context, but be ware, as dictated French they might well contain the passé simple and passé anterior tenses which you never hear in normal speech, though you might read them.
Best of all are cooking documentaries; simple French, well spoken, good context. Worst of all are French films, they are almost impossible to understand at times.
Mais, après quoi, dix ans, tu peut en faire!

Ten years. Right! The French should just all learn English and then there wouldn't be any of these pronunciation problems. 
I agree the French films should be avoided. A lot of my French friends say the same!

What was that Irish film with that American actor in it recently, about gangsters. His accent was so bad I couldn't understand it. That's what French films are like.

I learnt French for seven years while at primary and secondary school in England but it didn't stick until I went to work in France for a short while. Recently I have tried the Rosetta Stone course but I don't find it very helpful. It seems slow and ponderous, the early lessons seem aimed at you buying the later lessons to continue.

I don't know; what is the relationship between learning a language and changing the world?

I also had a friend who thought she could communicate with vegetables.

Hi,
Just read this great news a little late that Schumacher is out of coma and I am very happy for him and his family and fans and hope the damage to his brain will be limited so he can enjoy life again!
With friendly greetings,
