Why are we adding de in front of  mieux in the sentence il n’y a rien de mieux  que d’’ouvrir..... 

Could I also use 'prudent' instead of 'vigilant'?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

Here is the phrase: "Enfin, j'arrive sur la Grand-Place et je retrouve mon frere a cote de la fontaine." 

Note: "La Grand-Place" was given as the hint for this sentence, otherwise I might have written, "la Grande-Place", (even though the pronunciation is "grand" and not "grande").

Does anyone know why " la Grand-Place", rather than "la Grande-Place" since "la place" is feminine ?

Merci beaucoup !

This lesson is on the A2 listening practice list but is shown as a B2 level exercise. Either it's mislabeled or it's in the wrong place. The 5th lesson below this one (Dispute entre frère et sœur) has no level designation in the title, and the 2nd lesson under that one (En gardant mes neveux) is labeled as a B1 level exercise.

I also checked the A1 listening practice list and there are several lessons on that list that have no level designation.

This seems more like a content issue than a Help Desk problem.

A challenging topic I've been trying to learn about recently is finding gender neutral terms to use for non-binary people's jobs. For example, "Iel est bibliotechnician." In this case, using -an as an alternative to the masculine -en and feminine -enne.

I don't really have a question. I'm just expressing that this is a difficult aspect of this French topic!

Pour "j'ai réduit les dépenses superflues", peut on dire "j'ai rogné sur des dépenses superflues

et pour "il faut absolument que j'économise de l'argent", peut-on dire "il me faut vraiment économiser 

et pour "même lorsque j'ai vraiment envie d'un burger ! ", peut on dire "même lorsque ce dont j'ai absolument envie c'est un burger"?

merci !

Thank you helping in previous question.

How to know the order of the words..?

Est ce que tu parles la francias?

Est ce que parlez vous la francias?

How to decide- personal pronoun to be used has to be before verb or after verb??

Thank you

hello madam/sir,

I have a question why here they used 'des' instead of 'de'? As we use des for plural, but here nothing is plural.
