Pronunciation for the word "beau" is wrong. The vowels are pronounced much like in the English word "meow"

        How is it not correct? WOULD can be used in an imperfective sense, e. g., when I was eight, I WOULD wake up at 7am to go to school or We WOULD eat dinner with wine.

        If you have a counter example, I WOULD like very much to see it.

          Yes, this is actually the more correct meaning

            Thanks for the corroboration. The original is a bit stylistically awkward, but I see what they're trying to convey.
