    Your video are very good. I like them. Well, as a beginner, I like more as the video “qu´est -ce que tu …” and lesson 8 — verb etre (above) . It is very good for beginner: one sentence in different situation. This help a beginner to start talk. I had an experience: when I try to talk to people they normally answer in a way different from what I learnt and then I am lost. Although people who I was talking with simple know that I try to practice my french, but they do not know what I know. I expect that I will watch more such “simple” video or MP3 format listening material with french text from you in the near future.
