Bonjour!

I was wondering when listening to the sound Tu is it me or does it sound like when you say je?

Thank you

I know these lower level dictées are meant to be spoken slowly to suit beginners, but I find that with the over-enunciation, I often hear words that aren't there. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not?

For example:

-J'adore voyager

-C'est mon passe-temps favori

I hear :

-j'adore à voyager

-C'est mon passe au temps favori

I decided to take a chance today and add an e on the end of "je me suis ennuyée" to see whether it would be accepted as an answer. It wasn't. It's a shame really, given that this is what those of us who are female should be writing. I suppose it would constitute a huge amount of work for Kwiziq to incorporate feminine options thoughout all the quizzes. But perhaps this could be a long-term goal?

Hello,

I have a question relating the position of the words.

1. There's an example with ne ... jamais rien = never ... anything : "Il n'a jamais rien fait" --> is this correct or should it be "Il n'a jamais fait rien" ?

2. Now with ne ... rien du tout = anything at all, I found this expression on deepL and I don't know if it's correct or how to position the words. For example, I want to say: "She didn't say anything at all". Should it be:

   a) Elle n'a rien dit du tout

   b) Elle n'a rien du tout dit

More examples would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Why is it "commencez par préchauffer" but then "Faites votre pâte en mélangeant" ? What explains the difference?
