Could you explain the difference between 'crayon', 'crayon à papier' and 'crayon gris'?  I do not draw, so I was unfamiliar with the latter two.  Are the latter two used primarily in the context of art?

I was never good at grammar so it would be helpful if the lessons had a link to the very basics. Like in this lesson, a link to tell a poor grammarian what in heck is the subjuntive ??

Bonjour , J'habite a' Toronto ! est-ce la bonne façon

I would like to see my own translation again alongside the correct one.

The two answers so far have differing advice. Could Cécile comment please?

Laura Lawless’s explanation seems to accord with Alan’s - se parler is one of "20 verbs for which the reflexive pronoun is always an indirect object" (That is, they’re talking to each other, not talking each other, and parlé is invariable.)

Would love to be able to hear an audio version of the mnemonic poem. I don't see if/where it is possible to play the poem. That would be very helpful.

I have been given that words ending in "ion" were female with the exception of "Bastion". Is this another exception ?  Should it be Sa opinion or sa opinion, or is it that the word begins with a vowel ?

For the adjective for beautiful,masc beau,and fem belle,given the guidance in the study notes the adverb is formed from the masc which ends in a vowel ( beau) ,so I assume it's beaucoup. Any more common adjectives which don't add -ment to the masculine adjective?
