The “dictée” (dictation) is the French exercise by excellence. It is very academic and has been the nightmare of generations of students. (I did like them, though!). Put yourself to the test!

The text of the dictation is in the show notes – don’t cheat and read it before you’ve tried to do it! ?

Why this is an interesting exercise:

It is essential to proofread your text several times after you’ve written it!

Punctuation signs you need to know for the dictée:

Une virgule = a comma

Un point = a full stop

Deux points = a colon

Texte extrait de : “Lettres de mon moulin” (Alphonse Daudet, 1869)

” écoute un peu l’histoire de la chèvre de M. Séguin. Tu verras ce que l’on gagne à vouloir vivre libre.

Note: in the next episode, I’ll comment on some aspects of the dictation. Stay tuned!
