Hi in this when he said the word diner, the audio gets cut. 

Is it a fault at recording. just wanted to point out. 

A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?

Bonjour

Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".

Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?

I think I understand the basic concept here. Is there an easy way to remember which verbs are followed by à? The list is VERY long. 

Just checking: In looking at the sentence, "Écoutez cette conversation entre Marc et son amie Lola." It is son becuase it is his meaning Marc's friend, but amie becuase Lola is feminine correct? So, if I say "Ma meuillere amie est Laura.  I use ma because I am female and meuillere amie because Laura is female. I could also say "Mon meuilleur ami, Charles."

What is the difference between vite and rapidement?

In the second sentence, why is "cher" masculine, and not feminine.
