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!

Hello!
I am wondering if someone can explain the difference between "un emploi du temps", "un horaire", "un planning/un plan" and "un calendrier". I have seen all of these as meaning "schedule" and am confused about the distinctions between them (and why the latter three were not listed as appropriate alternatives in the context of this exercise).
Merci bien!
L’expression ci-dessus aurait dû été - en ce qui concerne?
Pourriez-vous clarifier, svp?
The see examples are written in English, not French, even in the test. It looks like this page needs editing!
En Italien on utilise le mot au pluriel (les feux d'artifice) pour indiquer un spectacle pyrotechnique (en effet il y a plusiers feux...). Est-ce qu'il faut l'utiliser toujours au singulier en Francais? Merci beaucoup de votre reponse!
I don't understand why déchiffrer is in the "vous" form here. Surely after "arrivez à" it should be in the infinitive ? Or does "Arriver à" behave differently from most verbs with à after them ?
is translated above as:
I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes
I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.
Ça fait 156e was said too quickly.
Are there any Listening Exercises to practice numbers?
