Hi!

In the notes to this section it says:
Je suis arrivé dix minutes en retard.

But in the video the guy says at 1:06 :
L'avion est arrivé en retard d'une heure.

You even give follow-up examples where the time is at the end of a sentence.
So.....with arriver/venir/commencer/finir (without avec) - it doesn't matter if I put the [time] before or after en retard?

Because if that is the case, then an addition in the "attention section" would be nice:
or
[5 minutes] en retard / [5 minutes] en avance

or

en retard or [5 minutes] en avance / [5 minutes] 


Okay, and now I got myself even more confused....😂

Tout le monde ______ des notes pendant la leçon d'histoire. C'était ennuyeux.

Hello, I am a hard of hearing person and I am struggling with the speed of the dictées.  I realise we need to hear the texts at a normal speed but is there any way to slow them down for me to hear them more clearly & then progress to normal speed?  This would make a BIG difference for me.  Many thanks.

Please how do I access the lesson links listed, because each time I tap on it, it Alway bring's out system error.

 If "Vous faites tous vos devoirs?" ranslates as "Are you all doing your homework?" Then, how does one say "Are you doing all of your homework?" in French?
