The /d/ in "quand on aura" isn't voiced as it should be, so it sounds like a /t/. I couldn't figure it out because it sounded like 'quan t'en aura" which is nonsense. I think that needs to be re-rcorded so the /d/ is voiced as it should be. It has a distinct un-voiced plosive sound which is misleading.

How are we to guess at correct punctuation?  Unless you can remember the entire speech, it is sometimes difficult to tell whether a section should end with a comma, a period or an exclamation point.  (And, actually, the sentence beginning "Paul va prendre sa voiture..." is a declarative sentence and not a question.) I have not been counting myself off where such punctuation is concerned because there seems to be no definite way to determine what the correct punctuation should be.

Why can't you use ça est? You correct this to ça c'est.

The bolding/unbolding doesn't always make this very clear.  So, please can someone clarify the rule on thousands in French?

Selon un etude....parleraient ,  je le comprends

Mais why does it say , un peu plus tard Dan  cette phrase, "la meme etude....'a' le plus grandre nombre."  Il ne devrait pas plutot dire "ait" or est ce car le phrase dit "a decouvert"  donc it is certain so not conditionnel

In this sentence “ l’un des montants qui sont affichés sur l'écran”, could you use montrés instead of affichés.

Thanks 

“au-dessus de l’assiette “. When I read this I picture the cutlery floating over the plate. “Dessus de l’assiette” I can imagine the cutlery sitting above the plate. Pouvez-vous m’expliquer pourquoi on utilise au-dessus vs dessus dans cette phrase. 

I have read other explanations of à qui and the auquel forms of the relative pronouns and they are not interchangeable;  à qui  is used for people and the auquel form is used for things and animals.  I think this distinction should be corrected in your lesson and on the tests.

I have a suggestion to change the word 'washerwoman' to 'laundress'. I think it makes better sense.
