Hello.
Would "au cours des années" be considered correct too? If not, what would be the difference between "au fil des ans/années" and "au cours des années" ?
Thanks.

It does rather put modern man in a bad light, but that aside a good dictation exercise.

My main point though is that the woman's diction was clear but the man's was muffled and difficult to understand.

Should the line in the lesson stating:  

pires / mauvais / mauvaises  ->  les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises

Instead be stated as:  

mauvais / mauvaises  ->  pires / plus mauvais / plus mauvaises -> les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises

Is spelling in responses of événements correct. It looks like è on second e

The translation of "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !" is "And you hear the same song, oh!". Why is "on" translated as "you"? I thought the translation of "on" is "one" or "we". Thanks!

How do we know when to use the verb “avoir” or when we have to use the verb “être”? Or is that something we just need to memorize?

All of this is in the present (with the exception of one other passe compose (a dish that i've tasted) & one subjunctive).   Why is the sentence "I really feel like I am travelling to the Roaring Twenties" translated using passe compose?

My first thought was that the narrator in this sentence moved into a memory, hence the past--that is, she once HAD that impression when in Paris.  But, the same could be said for other sentences: "What I like above all, (it) is the relaxed atmosphere . . "   It seems all of these sentences relate an ongoing feeling or attitude toward La brasserie La Coupole, so I don't understand why the passe compose is used in this sentence.
