You explain the sound of é as the first half of the vowel in ‘name’. Why don’t you describe it as the vowel in english words like fit or in?

I got both quiz questions for this wrong because they were questions. There were no questions marks so one would assume that they were statements rather than questions - Lisez-vous ce livre is different to lisez-vous ce livre?

Question: Why do I hear a “t” sound between Quand -and- il in the first sentence, in this exercise, I hear “t-il”. It seems with the “d” at the end of Quand, I am expecting a “d-il” sound. - thank you, EV

Hi! I got this question wrong: “ Elle a manqué le bus, donc elle doit___”.

I answered “aller à pied,” because we were contrasting two means of transportation. The correct answer was “marcher.” 

Instinct says both are fine. Am I wrong?

Given the English sentence to translate, can I say:

...il m'a révélé ce qui lui était arrivé en France

Un excellent travail sur le subjonctif et le vocabulaire. J’ai recopié les exercices B2 et C1 de cette semaine pour les réviser plus tard. Merci! : )

The Listen button for the tenir conjugations is not working. I press it and it just repeats the venir conjugations instead.

In the following sentence, " C'est aussi de Bourgogne que viennent les fameux escargots de Bourgogne, préparés dans leur délicieux beurre à l'ail et au persil.", why do you use que and not qui? I always thought if you use que, you need to have a subject after it, but qui is the subject and is followed directly by the conjugated verb. However in this case, que seems to replace a 3rd person plural subject.

this does not seem right that in the lesson it is " she takes dance lessons".. i think it should be she dances.. and if you wanted to say someone is taking dance lessons it woudl be " Elle prend des cours de danse"
