spoon names and sizesI'm puzzled by you're translating 'teaspoon' as 'une cuillère à café'. Surely it should be 'une cuillère à thé'? I've also heard 'une petite cuillère'. I would expect to reserve 'une cuillère à café' for a coffee spoon, a different, smaller item.

Use of 's'intéresser à'

Hi,

Could someone please help me to understand which is the appropriate way to use the verb 's'intéresser à' in the sentence 'The subject I am interested in is French'.

I have seen it used in two ways and am wondering which is correct or the most common.

1. La matière à laquelle je m'intéresse est le français.

2. La matière qui m'intéresse est le français.

Thank you :)

Finalement vs enfin?

In the context of "nous allons dans le salon et nous pouvons enfin ouvrir nos cadeaux", why is "finalement" marked incorrect? Don't they both have the same meaning?
