Hello,
I don't see any mention of how to conjugate verbs with these pronouns? Do you always assume they are singular + masculin ? Or are there any special cases (I can't think of one so I'm asking in case somebody knows)?
Thank you.
I am curious as to the agreement of the adjective “délicieuses” in the dictation-surely it is the noun “l’air” rather than “moules” which it has to agree with? In other words, “the mussels look delicious”.
"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

At the beginning of the second sentence the word "BASTIEN" is in the text, but it is not in the audio. All of the other sentences have the characters' name in both the text & the audio.
Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?
Bonjour,
Selon la leçon , IL+pronom+faut+nom. Pourquoi y-a-t-il "de" dans: Il lui faut de l'aide. Je ne comprends pas. SVP, l'expliquez- moi! Merci d'avance.
l'homme avec un couteau qui était tapi derrière le fauteuil familier de la femme / the man with a knife who was crouching behind the woman's familiar armchair
An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."
In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable?
Does anyone have any recommendations of how to get a full on immersive french experience in France? I am trying to get ready for DALF C1 exam and want to improve fluency quickly. I am looking for 2–3 weeks in France ideally with 3-4hours of structured learning. Ideally staying with someone who speaks only french. Institute Francais seems to have something but it is very expensive and probably too intense.
In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations. Perhaps not the best example? Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)
Is there a difference in meaning between "il devait faire qqc" and "il aurait dû faire qqc"?
