First, listen to the episode once, without looking at the notes. Try to focus on getting a general idea of what you hear. 2. Then, read the transcript while listening to the episode for a second time. Take some time to circle the new words you are learning and underline the ones which you still don’t understand the meaning so you can look them up later. 3. Finally, listen to the episode for a third time and focus on Catherine’s pronunciation. Pour finir, read the text out loud and try to imitate her intonation as much as possible. We encourage you to record yourself and see how much progress from one week to another!
