Le Passé Composé + depuis longtemps= not long / not for longMaybe I've not understood this bit of the lesson, but shouldn't this say '= not in a long time' instead of '= not for long'?

A question about one of the above sentencesIn the sentence above that says "Elle a une petite voix: on l'entend peu", why is that translated as "She has a small voice: We don't hear her much". I would have thought that "on l'entend peu" would have translated to 'we hear her much'. Would you please explain this? Thank you. Catherine

Gender of hyphenated nounsIn A1, there is a long lesson that tries to tell us how to infer a word's gender based on word ending patterns. Based on that, I can correctly guess that both "lave" and "vaisselle" are feminine, so why does dictionaries tell me "lave-vaisselle" is masculine ?

due à or dûe à ?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this should be , "dûe à" , not "due à"

I have a feeling both spellings are accepted ?

Comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.
