My performance on this was dismal (lugubre). I don’t think it was me. It is too difficult for A1, à mon avi.
I was definitely listening to this exercise in French but the answers were shown in English with various options provided. That's not how this usually works, unless I've been drinking too much eggnog...
In the sentence "il suffit d’observer ce que font les autres et les imiter," why have the verb (font) and the subject (les autres) swapped places? Shouldn't it be "il suffit d’observer ce que les autres font et les imiter"?
The sentence is taken from this text: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/bise-a-la-francaise/"
Thank you in advance.
why is the feminine adjective modele the same as the masculine and not modelee?
Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir dire "primordial" ? Peut-être devrait-il être "prééminent", par exemple. 'Primordial' suggère quelque chose qui existe depuis la nuit des temps, quelque chose d'assez primitif, dont aucun ne sonne juste dans ce contexte.
Hello,
The lesson says: "In the case of de + [people], the preposition de remains and is followed by a stress pronoun (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles)"
But in the video, there's an example "Vous connaissez des francais?" and the answer is, "Oui, nous en connaissons". Shouldn't it be: "Oui, nous connaissons d'eux"?
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
One suggestion given for the translation of 'we'll drink it without rushing' is 'nous le boirons sans se presser'. Would it be wrong to say 'nous le boirons sans nous presser' instead?
The word clore jumped out at me as well. Very much enjoyed reading and listening to this exercise.
Could 'les infos' be substituted by ' l'actualité ' or ' nouvelle ' Thanks
