Tuesday, June 16th

A short selection of Rolling Stones' songs.
I am probably doing that for no one at all, but just in case you, you and you are interested...

Monday, June 15th (again)

I have recorded the text "A school in Harlem".
It might help you understand some of the sentences (grammar is audible).
(The questions are said by a lady with a spot of Scottish accent, it is lovely).

Monday, June 15th

Entertainment time !

One of my favourite songs by the Rolling Stones : She's A Rainbow, in video (with the lyrics on the video).

The lyrics are simple, quite catchy, and – as most of the time with the Rolling Stones – quite uninteresting.

But the melody, the music and the singing, wow !!!

A splendid psychedelic video clip. Click here, and turn the volume up.

Thursday, June 11th

A text,
and questions, vocab' to find, a true/false list,
