    Spelling of Hacher

    Hi, should hacher be spelt as hâcher? I did this exercise - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/results/11294497/system - and got it wrong.

    Hi Dragana,

    I had to double-check this but no the spelling is correct.

    Hi Cécile. But as Dragana says, in the e-mailed vocabulary test today - Conseils et astuces en cuisine - the only accepted spelling is hâcher with a circumflex.

    Pronunciation of "râper"?

    Is "râper" really pronounced to rhyme with "cher"? Because that's the pronunciation given when you click on the speaker button in the "Cooking / Faire la cuisine (v)" vocabulary list at https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/theme/1513111

    Thanks for pointing this out Eric, as it should be like‘râpé’.

    It has been corrected.

    To brown (meat)

    The test I took only accepted "faire rissoler".  Can you not also say "faire dorer"?  Or is that a Canadianism?

    Hi Diana,

    Yes, you could say 'faire dorer' or 'faire revenir' also.

    Bonne continuation!
