This comptine is very charming, Aurelie! May I suggest that you find a popular children's song for it? It would make it so much fun and some of us could use it to teach French vocabulary to the children in our lives.

To think that by now ... This came out of left field!

This is a perfect example of vocabulary/explanation that should be given ahead of time -- I'll bet that way more than 90% got this wrong! If you do not speak French fluently, you would never think of expressing "To think that by now" is expressed as "Dire qu'à l'heure qu'il est"! Help us be better students by explaining expressions such as this!

Noun endings

Bonjour,

For the word culture the book says it should be masculine but the ending as a feminine ending ure so shouldn't it be feminine?

Thanks

Nicole

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

Placement of adverb

I notice in the phrase 'était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin' the adverb is placed after the participle, not the conjugated verb. Am I right in thinking adverbs normally go directly after the conjugated verb ?

Aller faire les courses ou faire les courses

I note the examples of needing to go shopping use

J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses. Je dois aller faire les courses.

Another lesson on shopping used faire les courses without a preceding “aller”. Is there a difference in meaning?b.

Love the colors as they are so clarifying !

I love the use of the colors ! You might consider using them in all the examples as well. Finally, for even greater clarity - select a color for the subject of the verb (that which is doing the "bringing to mind"). Again, the colors are so powerful. Thank you for all the great lessons.
