Statistics in French: as good as a massage
I must say for the record that the best experience listening to French thus far was when Judith explained medical statistics to me. At my request and in great detail, she went through her statistics outline for the day. Since the words were in front of me as she went through the outline, I was able to listen to her and read the French at the same time. This vastly improved my comprehension. The fact that I had taken statistics in college and understand the field fairly well was also helpful. I found it very relaxing – almost like a massage - and was “in the flow” of français for that period of time. Perhaps surprisingly, it has been my favorite experience in France. Merci, Judith. Je veux le faire plus.
