Nouvel vs nouveau

Why is it "je suis nouveau ici" instead of "je suis nouvel ici"? I thought it was nouvel before a vowel.

le deuxième degré ?Will there be a lesson covering «le deuxième degré» usage of French? I ran across this in an article that I was reading and had not heard the phrase previously. It seems that there is also «le troisième degré». premier degré = au pied de la lettre deuxième degré = humour troisième degré et plus = humour capillotracté, paludoludiverbisme, voire céphalocaptation… Merci en avance.

Why is this lesson confusing ainsi que and aussie bien?

On the ainsi que lesson there is the following section:

ATTENTION:

You can only use aussi bien que in French when comparing abilities, as in "I do it as well as you do", but NOT in the above cases.

Note also that you can never use aussi que.I'm confused
