    I've watched this 3 times whilst doing cardio (exercise bike), will now watch it again later while taking notes and writing each word down 3 times, will perhaps re-watch it just before bed.
    Repetition is the best pathway to memorise things, especially words/vocab. Doing so as you exercise is the best possible combo, hence my tip.
    And thank you Cindy for the great content!

      My plan is to stick to vocab building for the next 2 or 3 months and then move onto grammar. In other words, I shall be devouring your content quite a bit, and for that I thank you again!

It's only a couple of lines and is on CZcams. Is there any chance that you could have a listen and tell me what is being sung? If so, I'll let you know what the song is.

    hahaha what do you mean Cindy, you're a native French speaker, not a native English speaker, "as you can tell". Most of us wouldn't have guessed, only that your French is excellent, but also you sound fluent English, with cockney accent, London anyhow. I couldn't figure which until you told me so.
