Wine vocabulary

"Plonk" in english means an "ordinary, cheap, possibly inferior" wine. It does not mean bad wine. Does "la piquette" mean bad, or inferior, or both ??

Where is this guy's accent from?

He makes "derrière" sound like "dye air". (Of course, one has to deal with accents, but this one made his part of the dialogue quite challenging.)

... si ça ne te dérange pas ?

Great exercise on the whole. I will say (and this is likely because my ears are novices) that I still can't hear the "ne" in "si ça ne te dérange pas ?" I heard the "pas" so assumed it was there.

un eclairissement

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 !

Why is "que nous les avons présentés" ignoring all the les about "each other" and using the reflexive? and why is "leur" not used instead?

Fautes d’orthographe et de grammaire.

J’adore Kwiziq depuis que je l’ai découvert et je remercie toute l’équipe pour leur travail acharné. MAIS je m’étonne beaucoup de ce que les fautes faites par les contributeurs ne soient pas corrigées par quelqu’un de plus compétent. Par exemple ce matin, j’ai lu avec horreur la phrase: » je seraiS rentré chez moi quand je t’appeLerai. ». Je m’inquiète pour ceux qui ne sont pas français.

BOÎTE'Elsa est sortie rapidement de la boîte.'

Isn't 'une boîte' a nightclub? Surely it would make more sense for Elsa to be leaving a nightclub than a box?

Misleading video

the 4 min video with Jennifer states "Use il est with an adjective".

It completley ignores the other 50% of the rule, when you use C'est with an adjective
