why is it 'elle faisait son jogging' and not 'elle faisait DU jogging' ? 

"by punching a wall" - how does this translate to the above and why? the phrase is "donner un coup de poing" so why is it "un" replaced with "des" here? and why is "dans le mur" when it says "punching A wall"?

Can i say ‘vous allez devoir trouver’ ?

How do we get better at French? 

He makes "derrière" sound like "dye air". (Of course, one has to deal with accents, but this one made his part of the dialogue quite challenging.)

Why is there a direct object pronoun in this sentence, "je poserai autant de vacances que je le pourrai"? What does "le" refer to here? Can you say, "je poserai autant de vacances que je pourrai"?

When I listen to the entire passage, I clearly hear the word elle in the last sentence.   When I listen to the last sentence as given in the exercise, I hear what sounds like 'on' instead of elle.  I don't have the best ears, but it is what I hear.

Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"

Some vernacular examples would help.

this dictée made me smile.  It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)
