Nice lesson. In the last paragraph, when you sing it appears that the order is a bit different from the text. Librairie is sung before boulangerie. Am I right?
What a fun way to learn.
Love to hear more of the same.
Hi,
We forgot to add the words of the song before… so here they are!
‘Dans la ville où j’habite
il y a beaucoup à faire.
Il y a beaucoup à voir
et oui, ça c’est clair.
C’est une ville sympa,
une ville calme et tranquille.
J’aime bien où j’habite,
j’aime bien ma petite ville.
Dans la grande place
il y a un marché
et en face de l’église
il y a un musée.
À côté de la gare
se trouve la mairie,
et près de la piscine
il y a une pharmacie.
En face du parc
il y a une librairie
et juste à côté,
une boulangerie.
Il y a aussi
un centre commercial
qui se trouve en face
de l’hôpital.’
Enjoy singing along!

I figured out the answer to my question–at the end of some of the lessons either Mark or Anna says “Merci a tous et a toutes!”
This podcast is really excellent, you deserve all the praise you get.
You transformed my generally idle daily commute into quite an event which I look forward to every morning.
Your voices are great, the singing is fun, the teaching is 1st rate.
This course has a big warm heart. Thank you for the great work.

I feel so bad as I am still on Lesson 14, BUT I do replay it over and over – and I know that sooner or later it will become a second language and I want to thank Mark and Anna – they make it enjoyable.
Learning the language while working for the UN in Haiti. Invaluable asset.
love this episode! I’ve been making study pages from every episode and hanging them on my wall so I can practice when I go to sleep and wake up!

J’aime bien la chanson. The songs help me so much! I love having them to sing and get stuck in my head until the words start coming naturally!
