this dictée made me smile.  It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)

Answer

Good French dictation exercise, but ... universal??? Gee, I hope not Barbara! Surely just an anachronistic stereotype from an old-fashioned sitcom? The untidy, dirty and sarcastic husband and his dutiful, downtrodden and nagging wife. Have to say it made me cringe a bit. lol.

Answer

Bonjour Paul,
This dictation was a little tongue in cheek but there's probably something a little relatable for everyone too. You might not encounter this sort of "domestic shenanigans" (and not all men are this way!!!) but I sometimes do, and yet, I consider myself extremely lucky! ;-)
Bonne journée !

Answer

Paul, It seems we 'read' this dictée differently.  I saw it as light-hearted and humorous and did not take it so seriously.  and I happen to have a husband who is a wonderful guy but does tend to leave his dirty socks laying around the house... :)
