French language Q&A Forum

Good morning. Is there a trick to hearing the accents over vowels, or do you just have to know where they are in every word? A lot of times I can distinguish the pronunciation of é vs. è, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between e and é, for example. In the text, there's the sentence "" where I can hear é in représentation and théâtrales, but the e in spectacles sounds the same as é in the other two words and doesn't have an accent. Is this something that just comes with a lot of practice? Or do you just sort of need to know the words in advance? 

Bonjour!
Here baby in French means "le bebe"  as "le" here is it a male baby or a baby in general and if it is a female baby can we replace it with "la" as in " la bebe "

I would like to know the best way to study with kwiziq to get the most out of it. Can anyone share your ideas?

in this example, two questions:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!

1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?

2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?

Which is correct je ne veux pas or que ne je voulais pas

While translating I came accross this sentence " L'homme n'attend plus ses opinions, sa conscience, son bonheur que de l'ordre d'un autre" and  I don't understand the meaning of the construction of " n'attendre plus.... que de l'ordre d'un autre". 

Thank you for your help!!

Why does visite sometimes have an acute accent on the end, other times it doesn't? 

Can I also say - Qu’y mettez-vous? [What do you put there?]

Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:

Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?
