Hello,

I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?

Thank you

Thank you! Just a note on the English: it's more idiomatic/natural to say "I get angry easily" (or even in this context "I get annoyed easily"), at least here in the UK.

Chers amis, 

Please clarify my doubt.  Mon école est à côté des appartements    or    Mon école est à côté d'appartements

Which one is right?   does de gets contracted to des or changes to d' as appartements starts with a vowel. 

Thanks in advance. 

In the exercise "The Town of Gruyères", the translation of "Before we even entered the picturesque village," is given as "Avant même que nous entrions dans le bourg/village pittoresque,". I think it should be 'nous sommes entrés dans ...'. What am I getting wrong there? Also, I'm aking my self, does an optional 'ne explétif' go before 'entrions'?

Small mis-spelling.

“and I set the table with colourful plates.”

“et j'ai mis la table avec des assiettes multicolres.”

-> “multicolores”

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"?
