Is it as simple as J'ai honte d'avoir peur des chats?

Oh la, la!  1 200 variétés! Quel préférer-toi?

In “et je ne connais pas bien la ville.” it sounds like “bien a ville”. There is no hint of an “l” sound. At least to my ears. This might also be what Jean meant. 

I was interested in this use of "fameuse", does it have a hint of "infamous" here, rather than meaning "famous" ?

 (I know fameux or fameuse can mean famous or celebrated in the context of food.)

Hi, in the line “nous avons développé des intérêts communs” I believe I’m hearing a short connecting word/syllable between “intérêts” and “communs”. Am I imagining this?

To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources. 

Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink. 

One of the hardest ones yet! It showed me that I am clearly not ready for a French aerobics class yet, so at least there's that, haha! 

I read in a French magazine:

La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.

I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country. 

But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !
