As a test question immediately after the lesson it is easy. But most North American and indeed many British Commonwealth countries would consider 'receiving the degree' what happens at the official ceremony. Obtain/earn would be less ambiguous outside the time frame of lesson/test. Should it be changed  form receiver to 'obtain or earn'?

Bonjour Aurelie,

Je me demande si Enzo est votre propre fils ? Je peux vous imaginer dans sa chambre en train de lire ses livres ensemble ! 

A very cute story! 

Is there some reason you don't cover Le Passé Antérieur in your lessons? Although it's probably not common, I'd still like to understand the structure. Am I correct to translate "I left after I'd eaten" ... or ... "after I'd eaten I left" as

- Je fus parti aprés que j'eus mangé

- Aprés que j'eus mangé, je fus parti

And am I also correct to translate "you left after you'd eaten" ... or ... "after you'd eaten you left" as

- vous fûtes parti aprés que vous eûtes mangé

- Aprés que vous eûtes mangé, vous fûtes parti

In both cases I'm not sure if both verbs use antérieur form, or just the "after" verb?

This is all too difficult for me .  I need to go to day one, very beginning, very basic

The answer " en dernier septembre " given. The durations mentioned in this lesson does not put the "duration" in front of the proper noun. Why? is this a mistake!

I got this question:

How would you say "You went out even though I wasn't OK with it." ?

And I answered with this:

Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.

Apparently the right answer was Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord, but I don't understand why je ne suis pas d'accord is in the present tense.

To me that sentence means "You went out even though I'm not OK with it.", as in "I'm not ok with in general", but the way the English sentence is written in the question means that the speaker wasn't ok about a particular going-out. Why would one use the present tense there even though the "not being ok with it" was done in the past?

Can we say nous étions censés .... instead of nous devions arriver....?

je pense que c'est Costard et pas costar. 

sometimes its je leur parle sometimes je parle aux leur,; how do we know which is which. think im missing something here
