Can 'aussi que' be used to mean "(included) as well as"?An example from lesson on comparative adverbs: Je chante aussi bien que ma tante. I sing as well as my aunt. Here, aussi que means as well as. In English, we can also say 'there are sandwiches as well as a cake', in which 'as well as' implies 'included as well as'. Cheryl

Other adjectives?You write "Note that THESE adjectives ending in -u become -üe". So does this only concern exactly these three adjectives or are there others? Is it a general rule for adjectives on -u or are these exeptions?

Pronunciation of "t" in "C'est à moi"Why does the pronunciation accompanying this lesson not pronounce the "t" in "C'est à moi"? I have another French language program (and a French speaking daughter) which does pronounce it. Is this possibly a regional difference? Which is correct in formal Parisian French?

Vous_____ me le direIn the test for the above, the translation reads as 'You shouldn't have told me'. Shouldn't the translation have been ' You shouldn't have told me that'? I am trying to see where the 'le' fits in the translation given.

I don't understand the rule about ordering object pronouns So I understand that object pronouns go in front of the verb but I just don't "get" the rule. So I know Je lui ai parlé. = I talked to him. But can someone point me at an explanation of this rule?

My french teacher only speaks in French. She was trying to explain the difference between "face à" and "en face de" but the nuance was lost on me. Can someone explain in English? Merci!
