French language Q&A Forum

Salut,

I'm with Frank C. and Justin H. The "Helene" hint must be a mistake, as it doesn't seem to apply to the narrative.

I was also thrown off a bit by the hint to use the masculine form for "designers". I used "stylistes" which is both masc. and fem., as are the terms "designer" and "modeliste". However, "createur/creatrice" and "couturier/couturiere" do have the different masc. and fem forms.

Otherwise, a fun exercise and I learned a new expression: "un leger vent de panique". 

Bonne Continuation

In doing the exercise, I wrote: "des robe aux silhouettes cintrées..." and it was crossed out and corrected to "cintrés" with only one "e". As "silhouette" is feminine, "cintrées" should be the right answer, and I see that it is written as such in the full text at the end of the exercise. 

Otherwise, as usual, an enjoyable exercise where I learned a new word: "cintré(e/s)!

Merci

When I try to write a with an accent in faire confidence a or other terminal vowel accents, the program will do it, but remove the accent when I move on to the next question.

I am a tactile learner and do better writing these dictées by hand. Is it possible to do the grading (does the grading contribute to the dashboard, even?) by hand and enter the score? The language clicks better in my head writing manually vs typing and I don't want to write and then transcribe into the system. Is there also a way to simply see the transcript without going phrase by phrase?

Pourquoi est-ce que le pronoun en haut masculine, je sais qu'IL adore?

My computer is not allowing me to type the cedilla. So I am getting all these wrong!

If you are asking someone their nationality, it is obvious that you do not know the person. In which case, wouldn't the question be informal in any situation? 

Please can you explain the difference between these which both mean "we go". When is it correct to use "on" instead of "nous"?

Hi I cannot type any of the accents or special characters

In the quick lesson you use the example Ce problème, auquel je ne comprends rien, m'énerve 

Why is it auquel and not duquel ( or de qui) since comprendre is a transitive verb ? What am I missing?
