In addition to the classes I'm taking, I am studying with 3 aids, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur and Duolingo.com. They are all good systems and I get something different out of each one. With all of that and and 6 months of study you would think that I would be able to deal when someone in a shop says something I don't quite catch or understand. No, I still turn into a blithering idiot on occasion. "Uh uh uh uh." The person usually smiles and shifts to English of varying quality. Why can't I just say, "Pardon, repeter un peu plus lentement, s'il vous plait." It's easy. I've practiced it. French in the real world is not French in the classroom or online.
