It's great to know that after finishing Level 2 you can now understand better the programs you are watching in French. I try to watch French movies and feel quite lost. Now and then i pick up some words or phrases. I'm only halfway through Level One. Can't wait to get to your level.

I understand the feeling watching French movies. There are two challenges we have there as beginning French students, our vocabulary is limited and they are speaking the way every day French speaking people speak. My advice is just watch, listen, and enjoy the movie. Don't get frustrated if you can't understand anything. Here and there you will pick up words and if you are like me, when you do it's a good feeling. You might also try watching French in Action, that's kind of fun. I think there are just little victories along the way if you keep at it. To most people in the world, being able to understand an episode of Téléfrançais isn't really a big deal, but to me it's telling me that the hard work and effort is paying off.
