| 0:00.0 | Coffee Break French, Season 3, Lesson 28 |
| 0:30.0 | As you know, we've already heard part of Kitty's latest text, so we're going to focus |
| 0:55.3 | in this episode on just the second half of this text. We'll begin by listening to the whole |
| 1:01.0 | text, however, to help you contextualize what Kitty says in the second part. After this, |
| 1:06.7 | we'll go through the text, helping you to understand what has been said. If you'd like a full |

| 2:53.1 | that I would finish my studies in Boston, and that I would be returned in France, where I would |
| 2:58.9 | be with my French husband. In short, I said too much, I think. Veronica is too |
| 3:06.3 | married. She is a director of a website for the Australians who are looking for love. |
| 3:13.7 | It's too bad because Veronica is a person. I think she should be able to write on her own site. |
| 3:21.5 | She is super nice, and in addition, she is very beautiful as a woman. But I feel that she works too |
