7 комментариев к “Pimsleur English level 2 Unit 01

Я к тому голосу привык. Его голос чуть чуть сбивает. Думаю надо привыкнуть. Как будто нос заложен.

Сбивает с толку, что слово «младшая» (в смысле младшая дочь) требуется переводить иногда как «the little one», а иногда как «the younger one». В русском языке, так же как и в английском, можно сказать «младшая дочь» или «маленькая дочь». Было бы неплохо, если б русский диктор в тех случаях, когда требуется сказать «the younger one» говорил «младшая», а в тех случаях когда требуется сказать «the little one» говорил бы «маленькая».

В начале текста:
A – And how long are you going to stay?
B – Two days.
Диктор говорит: For a two days.
как правильно?

Правильно — for two days. Опечатку в тексте исправил.

ИСПРАВЛЕНА опечатка в тексте «live»(жить) — «leave»(уезжать).
У этих слов почти одинаковое произношение, видимо это и привело к опечатке.
