French language Q&A Forum

Admittedly, I'm more used to Québécois French, but the recording contains what has to be one of the oddest pronunciations of "ben" I have heard. I expect it to rhyme with "hein" or "en", but I swear the recording is closer to "bamme" than anything else. 

Am I missing something, or has my ear glitched? Please let me know. 

I am curious about the construction of ...fait de lui...  Why not ...lui fait...?  It seems to me that 'him', in the English, is the indirect object of faire while Français is the direct object.  I used ...lui fait..., which was not one of the accepted translations.   Why?

Shouldn't it be "Elle a dû l'oubliée?" [She must have forgotten it.] 

Here, Oublier is infinitive form of the verb which means - to forget. So, in this example isn't it translated to - She must have forget about it, which doesn't sound right. How can it be translated to '...forgotten it.' which is past tense?

hi,

I was wondering what is the easiest way to know when something is in the 12 hour clock or when something is in the 24 hour clock? This seems to be my most problem in this section of understanding.

thanks

Bonjour!

Could you please explain that sentense: c'est la preuve que nous sommes donc tout autre que les spotifs? I don't understand when we can use 'donc' in the sentense.

Merci!

I often find that if I have a lesson I want to retest on it won't let me & says:

"To kwiz this lesson again, save it to a notebook and kwiz against it until you have nailed it."

but when I add it to the notebook it then says:

"This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."

apologies if this has been asked before, but I did search & check the FAQ but didn't find anything.

many thanks  :)

....since it' not implied "brand new"

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?

Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?
