These lessons are fun, but I would really benefit from seeing the French captions. The characters speak so fast it’s hard to understand the French words. Would you be able to add the French captions as well as the English captions? For me personally, I don’t need to have the English at all. Thanks!
Hi Jacki! The workbook of the show is actually available at: http://ohlalaispeakfrench.com/downloads/oh-la-la-hollywood-speaks-french-season-1-workbook/
It includes a few guidelines on how to make the most of the videos, along with both the French text, and its translation in English. Hope that helps! Bon français! 🙂
