"In the Languedoc region" was translated as "dans le Launguedoc". I followed this example to translate "in the Gironde region" but it was marked wrong and the correct translation provided was "en Gironde". In some cases a name is used with an article - as above, for example, or also in this exercise "la presqu'ile du Medoc" but "la plage.. de Port-Leucate". Are there rules about how to refer to different places? Thank you.

Direct to indirect speech Reported speech. I have a doubt in the following question.

Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup or Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup.

Please clarify. TIA.

A new way of looking at rappeler

I have found it useful to translate rappeler as 'recall'. It's synonymous with remind, but its English language grammar is more similar to rappeler- you recall x to someone , you remind x of someone - and rappeler surely has a root in appeler, to call, re-appeler, recall. Helpful?

Can you say it just the once

Bonjour,

With regards to Cher Matt, chère Kate. If you are are writing a letter or a card and it's to both of them, could you default to the masculine version and say Cher Matt et Kate?

Merci
