In lesson 9.6, there is a pronunciation error.
There is a sentence, "Nous lancames une pierre dans la riviere." The word "lancames" is pronounced like the present tense, "lancons". This occurs in both the lesson and Test sections.
Also, does anyone know where I can find the letters with the different accents. I have Windows 7. I found something where you use ( for example) ctrl ' and then the letter, but that only worked in Word and maybe Excel. I would like to be able to use it in emails and other websites, like this one. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Merci a tous,
Mike

Have you tried the tutorial tips on Comme une française on how to type accents? I don't have Windows, so I can't verify that they work, but it looks good. :) Someone also posted a cheat sheet in the comments if you scroll down.

Thanks for the response, Torusan. I looked at the website, especially the comments and found a few ideas. The first would involve cut & paste, which might become tedious. The second was that there is some way I can change my keyboard into an int'l keyboard which, unfortunately, I am clueless about. If you have any ideas on how that may be done I would appreciate it. I have PC and windows 7.
Merci a vous,
Mike
P.S. The website seems very entertaining. I like her heavy French accent. Tres mignonne!

Hi Michael - Well spotted! That phrase was pointing to the wrong audio track. All fixed now.
Are you looking for the keyboard to use with Write it! ?

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your response. No, I use the existing keyboard in Write it. It would be more for here (forum) or when I send emails or on other websites. Anything you might know would be helpful.
If you are with Rocket French (which it appears) I also have a question about the pronunciation in the "Imparfait" lesson. The pronunciation of etudiions and etudiiez sounds the same as in the present tense, etudions and etudiez though the present has one less "i". I have long wondered how to pronounce verbs in the imparfait with "ii" in the nous and vous form. Is this a pronunciation error or is there just such a subtle difference that I'm not hearing it.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike - Basically they are pronounced the same. There is a subtly longer "i" sound but it would be difficult to pick up.
