French Canadian translation

Good morning. Respectfully, French Canadian does not only mean Québécois. It includes them and they are in fact a majority but we have many other French Canadians across beautiful country. Thank you.

Test Glitch

Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

I don't agree with you.

You example : Sam fait de l'aïkido. Sam does aikido. How can you explain the right answer as ".... going to dance lesson..."?

“QUENTIN: When do we get there?”For these three answers, does “there” not need to be explicitly included, maybe with a “y”, such as “QUENTIN : Quand est-ce qu'on y arrive ?” Same question for “We'll get there when we get there!”.

Qu’est ce qui v. Qu’est-ce que

I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!

Suggestion for translating sentences in notebook lessons

There are lots of translated sentences in the notebook lessons. It would be handy to be able to blend out the french sentence so as to try translate the english sentence into the french as an exercise.

D'ici demain vs d'ici ce soir

I'm perplexed. My answer to a quiz was marked wrong when I translated "by tonight" as "d'ici soir". Apparently it should be d'ici ce soir. But by tomorrow is "d'ici demain". Could you please explain the difference because the lesson doesn't address this. Thanks.
