    I recently starting doing French lessons with my daughter. I wanted a french to english sort of passive listening, but I can't find any that I like. I can find all french, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to find some audio learning type of thing that says words/phrases in one language and then the other. Anyone know of anything like this?

        We are using a program for learning at home together. I was looking for audio I can use as well. Can't really do passive listening on a dictionary.

          Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

                  Have a look at EuroTalk Interactive[^] - I have tried one of them many years ago, and IIRC it worked.

                    The most interesting thing I found when learning French, is that they don't have their own word for 'Entrepreneur'.

                          I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.
