Ne serait-il pas plus intéressant de se concentrer chaque semaine sur une région ou une ville française ? Cela inviterait également les apprenants à tirer le meilleur parti de leur expérience de voyage en France.

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

Ce quoi la base de informatique et le but 

Instead of using the following expression: Chacun(e) d'entre + Stress pronoun, can I use the following:

Chacun(e) de + Stress Pronoun ? Isn't this correct?

I was watching a short youtube video in which, if I understood the gist of it, a bilingual gentleman was giving students advice in how to translate.  I thought I heard him address his audience repeatedly by 'tu'. I don't know if it was a tongue in cheek humour or was he being unusually familiar, The video was here:

Merci.

I got this question wrong in a test on another site. Unfortunately no explanation was given. Can someone tell me why there is no agreement when faire is used in this case as a past participle ?
