It doesn't appear possible to rewind this sound clip. For me personally , that makes it much less useful, as you have to replay the whole thing from the beginning.  ( I have tried Firefox and Microsoft edge, so I don't think it's the web browser).

Could we please have an interface that allows us to rewind the sound ? Thanks Paul.

I know I am a little old-fashioned about this, but even though "it sucks!" is used more and more frequently these days in colloquial American speech, I think it is still a fairly vulgar expression.  Does "ca craint" have the same level of vulgarity as "ca suce" in French?  I'm just curious.

Bonjour Cécile,

In the lesson, a sentence has been given 

"La vanille,c'est bon,mais le chocolat,c'est meilleur."

If the sentence is inversed,as-

"Le chocolat,c'est bon,mais la vanille,c'est meilleure."

Would in this case "meilleur" be used or "meilleure"?

Please explain the reason behind it also.

Merci d'avance.

Je trouve qu'elle est raison? If not ps explain.

You say: "Note that pas and du tout CAN be separated, quite like in English." Alas, the examples do not differ:

Elle n'est pas du tout stupide!
She's not stupid at all!

Elle n'est pas stupide du tout!
She's not stupid at all!
