French language Q&A Forum

In the exercise entitled "A Book Lover," there is a phrase "...rien qu'en observant ses grands frères et sœurs." When I gave exactly that spelling, the s's at the end of "frère-" and "sœur-" were marked as incorrect...even though they were present in the correct example, and the narrator gave us a very clear clue that the words were plural by the way she pronounced "ses."  Just letting you know about this glitch in the program. 

Also, I frequently find myself needing a 2nd or 3rd listen to be certain about certain words. Sometimes I'm able to get the program to repeat the recording, often not; when I do, I often need to click on the audio button multiple times before it complies. Either I'm trying to cheat, or the function allowing us to hear the phrase over again doesn't work very well. Please let me know which is the case!

Otherwise, I'm enjoying these challenges very much!

It would be so helpful if we could slow down the reading of the test and to repeat a phrase

Bonjour, je pense qu'il y a une faute dans le texte en dessus. "Je ne me lasse pas..." Il y a la lettre "i" qui manque dans le verbe, n'est-ce pas?

Is the underlying phrase here "faire de [qch] la référence en la matière"? What does it mean exactly, and is it common?

Hi, this struck me as odd: "vous devriez peut-être considérer que la relation n'est pas n'est pas censée durer" - why not just "n'est pas censée durer"? Why the repetition?
