Mistake in correcting algorithmIn 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!
Could 'les infos' be substituted by ' l'actualité ' or ' nouvelle ' Thanks
Hi all, I am not getting my head around the sentence- C'est la fameuse "auberge espagnole" du titre.. why is du titre at the end. thanks
I am a bit confused on the contexts you would use this, because it feels like a bit curt ? Would it be OK to use it for example, when you do a favor to someone that they want to repay, and you respond with this ? Or might it come across as a bit too aggressive ?
Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?
Should this prompt be "tradition has it that he or she be crowned king or queen for the day!"?

I am a beginner lever french learner. I have been trying to study a poem by Pierre de Ronsard, 'Quand vous serez bien vielle..'. I have understood the meaning of the rest of the poem but the second quatrain still puzzles me.
Lors, vous n’aurez servante oyant telle nouvelle,
Déjà sous le labeur à demi sommeillant,
Qui au bruit de mon nom ne s’aille réveillant,
Bénissant votre nom de louange immortelle.
I have looked up the meanings of all the individual words and have a rough understanding of the whole but without absolute certainty. I would appreciate if anyone could expound upon this quatrain.
Why quitter is correct answer, but not sortir ?
I found an example in the lesson where sortir is used to describe a personne leaving work at 19h
It is a lady speaking, so should not the past participle of the reflexive verb se faire agree in gender?
