Articulation is very poor in places, especially "et il n'y aura pas de jalouses " and "Papa, quand on aura fini la visite". I realize you're trying to provide a range of voices and accents, but it makes it really difficult to understand sometimes. A native French speaking friend listened to this and she really struggled to understand it.
One question was: Je __ ai invité pour Thanksgiving.
The next was: Je __ ai appris que la France...
The answer given for the first was "je l'ai" and for the second was "je lui ai."
Why?
Les Souillard sont mariés depuis plus de vingt ans." means:

There is a sentence in the text:
" les odeurs de cannelle et d'épices évoquent des souvenirs d'enfance"
I seem to get this wrong quite often - why is there no article after de in all of these cases (de cannelle, d'epices and d'enfance).
Thank you!
"Note that, like for dates in general..." is incorrect English. It should be "Note that, as for dates in general..." or "Note that, like dates in general..."
Not sure if anyone is gonna read this, but for those that are from countries where a billion means a million million, french uses the word billion as well.
This page confused me a bit since Spanish is my first language and in that language we generally use billion the same way as French, whereas the one thousand million meaning is mostly used in the English speaking world.
C'est la plus rapide voiture du monde.
C'est la voiture la plus rapide du monde.
I answered with the second one, and after much thought, not the first. I asked a french speaking friend and she said the first sounded odd and she would not use it, although she didn't think it was wrong. Can you provide some guidelines?
Thanks
How do you remember which countries/regions are masculine/feminine? I find this hard.
