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.
A little unclear re the use of the above. What is the difference, if any, between the following ?:
J'ai peu d'amis and J'ai quelques amis
My biggest mistakes at this simple point in A1 are because I don't know the word as opposed to missing the grammar rules (parce que, par, oeuvres, etc.). When I make mistakes the lessons recommended are almost always about the grammar -- are there lessons or suggestions for picking up more vocabulary? (although I'm suspecting that just doing exercises is the best way to get exposed to more words :-) )
I understand the news casters on TV24 but I am having a difficult time understanding the extremely fast speakers on your B1 exercise, even though I am looking at the printed exercise while I listen to the recording. Is it possible for you to use speakers who are more articulate?
Why is there a direct object pronoun in this sentence, "je poserai autant de vacances que je le pourrai"? What does "le" refer to here? Can you say, "je poserai autant de vacances que je pourrai"?
For the phrase, "je suis né pour travailler dans ce domaine." the audio says something like, "je suis né pour cette vocation."
The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.
So would : "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"
be acceptable
At the beginning of broadcasts, I've heard things like, "Bonne journée. Nous sommes le mercredi 24 janvier 2024. Commençons notre programme."
Is the "Nous sommes" used formally, or conversationally as well?" Would a teacher say "Nous sommes..." rather than "C'est..," for example? Or if a friend asked for the date, would it be odd to say, "Nous sommes le 24 janvier?
