The clue on the 2nd last screen is ' it = general statement ' but there is no 'it' in the sentence being translated, just 'I find that topic really interesting.'
The clue is misleading given the answers suggested, not unexpectedly, use ' ce sujet ' or ' ce thème ' .
On the following screen "I am going to buy it straight away. " In this case 'it' refers to a specific novel, so 'general statement' is not correct either.
I don't think the clue is helpful or necessary on either screen.
Hi. In a Kwiz this was the question:
Avant que je n'________ le bruit, je dormais à poings fermés.
The answer was aie entendu.
Can someone please explain the n' that's in there?
I came across ‘je ne pense pas qu’ils auraient reussi à s’arracher à lui s’il était revenu.’ (Harry Potter translation). Although penser when negated takes the subjunctive is the subjunctive not used when a conditional tense is needed? I guess I’m not sure whether tenses change the use of the subjunctive. I read the future changes to the present to us the subjunctive.

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.
Due to my stupidity I missed marking one of my answers but one cannot go back to and answer. Could this be changed. Thank you.

Hello, for this question:
Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant. Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.
The correct answer is: quand nous aurons quitté
I answered: quand nous serons quitté, as I would say nous sommes quitté le restaurant.
So why is this aurons and not serons?Many thanks!
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.
What are the English translations for these 2 little phrases? I’m guessing Quand même here means something along the lines of “all the same”. I’m not sure about Du coup … is it something like “having said that “? It’s the dictation re paying by cash or card. Thanks Sue
