French language Q&A Forum

I note the possible answers were "Retirer de l’argent / Retrait d’argent / Retrait d’espèces". I do realise retirer is a verb and retrait a noun, but wonder why the change to d’  after retrait? (rather than de l’argent, des espèces)

The "c'est" audio really really sounds it begins with "F"! 

Also the method you have chosen to overwrite/highlight the mistakes in the users submission makes it really difficult to see the mistakes! I think it would be better move the comparison from behind the tooltip and just display it on the page, and use underlines, insertion of missing letters etc. with a different colour, this will make it easier to read and compare.

Just to make the point that in UK English, it’s commoner to say "nowhere I’d rather be" or "nowhere that I’d rather be" - this avoids the where-where sound but also makes it harder to remember we need nulle part où rather than nulle part que.

I’ve just dropped a point for omitting the -là in the general statement "La vie était plus dur à cette époque-là".  Could someone clarify the distinction between à cette époque and à cette époque-là, as both seem to be found online, as well as in Céline’s answer two posts down. Thanks!

I don't understand this

French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"

if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"

Why is it 'le jeudi' not just 'jeud'i?

We are talking about a particular Thursday here...

bonjour mes amis,

est-ce qu'on peut utiliser « à côté de » comme un sinonyme pour « avec » ? Ou c'est seulement pour la distance ?

par ex.: C'est notre livre, on va l'étudier à côté d'une bonne méthode pédagogique.

Merci bcp d'avance.

The notes state that Martin aime Sarah can say ´Martin loves Sarah’ but my answer was marked wrong, saying it should have been ´Martin aime bien Sarah’

The first two sentences of the exercise use "on" rather than "nous" for we.  Why is the "nous conjugation of the imperative verb (prenons) used rather than the "on" conjugation (prend)?  That is why "Prenons un selfie"... rather than "Prend un selfie"...?
