Comedy is a nightmare to follow, the combination of weird accents, slang and not knowing the cultural references has me looking blankly at the screen most of the time as well. We recently got my mother in law's Canal plus account woking on our amazon firestick so I've decided to only watch French TV, even after a just a couple of weeks I'm noticing an improvement, it's kind of a little taste of what immersion must be like.
That's the plan, I could just about pass the B1 now but my biggest regret is not learning the language sooner. My wife and I have been together for 10 years (married for 2) and I only really started to try to learn after we'd been together for 6 or 7 years. We just had our first child during the lockdown and although I didn't think we'd leave London for years, having a new baby during covid, brexit and the country becoming a tory paradise has made me pretty desperate to leave.
