Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."

Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)

if it's talking about all those subjects being foreign, then the English is very misleading because that's not what I understood from it at all. I also agree with other comments saying how a lot of what's in these exercises are not covered in lessons. For example I have never seen the expression "en quoi" and don't really get why it's used here? Why is there no lesson on this and yet it's expected as the only correct answer to one of these questions? 

Hi, why is “la plus grande partie” feminine? It seems to be “attached to” the male “siècle” more than to the female “devise”. 

Why is it not “avant le dîner” in both examples? In the example with Je doit it’s just avant dîner. 

In the second-to-last sentence in this dialogue, the character doesn't change back to the customers' voice (the last 3 sentences are all in the waiters' voice). It sounds like the waiter is asking himself if the restaurant has sparkling water. I know this is a help desk issue, but I suggest a Report Problem button be included in these lessons like the regular lessons have in order to report these glitches more easily.

Bonjour 

1)A la place de dire 'tourner doucement' est-ce qu'on pourrait mettre ' tourner soigneusement' ou bien 'tourner attentivement'

2)Normalement on gare un véhicule . Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer l'emploi du verbe 'se garer'. Moi, j'ai écrit 'garer soi meme' (to park yourself)

Merci a l'avance et je vous souhaite une excellente journee !

Pourriez-vous me dire ??????

Quelle est la différence entre

C'est longue/ Elle est longue.

(La liste est longue)

Merci

Could one also say, "Le matin j'avais beau de me reveiller?"

Utter nonsense.  Both those statements (ie, "speak Spanish fuently: or "speak fluent Spanish" are 100% interchangeable. If anyone tells you different, they're not native English speakers (or they're very poorly educated). 

I'm getting the impression that the people who are setting these tests are not fluent English speakers.
