I enjoyed this exercise and have similar questionsThis is an area that I have found to be a bit confusing for me: Why is it "une tarte aux pommes; une tarte aux peches" but "une tarte/sorbet au citron" etc...?
It is "un cafe au lait" but is it "une glace au cafe" for a coffee ice cream, (one of my favorites) ?
I know that I , for one, would really appreciate a lesson on these terms.
And, then there are all the food terms which use "de"; "du"; "de la" and "des" !
Help!
Par exemple - pouquoi est-ce qu'on dit "un sandwich au jambon" mais "un verre de vin" ?
May I suggest a lesson which addresses adjectives for foods and "la cuisine" ? After all France is known for its excellent cuisine!
I think it would be very helpful !
Merci a tous !
"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent. Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas? Merci.
usually we say : Je fais du vélo OR Je roule en vélo?
The recommended translation reads 'au sein de sa famille ou au sein de sa communauté'. Why is the long prepositional phrase repeated? Could you not say 'au sein de sa famille ou de sa communauté'?

I think the native speaker would say 'I have hardly any' rather than 'I hardly have any'. 'Hardly any' is an expression, I think.
Yet, "un vrai nom" can mean a person's real name, correct?
My audio stops at privilégiés and the rest of the sentence is absent. The play button is not on pause but rather play. If I select play, the recording starts again from the top.
Would it be possible in the questions to give clues as to whether places are regions, cities, etc.? My French and British geography knowledge isn't that great. I could certainly Google whether places are cities or regions, but as the point of these kwizzes is to determine whether I know the proper preposition to use (and not to test my knowledge of geography), clues would be very helpful! This would be useful for all questions associated with prepositions before named places, not just this lesson. On the plus side, if there were clues as to the type a place is (region, city, etc.), I would gradually learn geography by proxy! Thanks!
Thanks!
