In a situation where we are deciding whether to use le français or simply français with the verb parler, would one or the other be more appropriate in certain settings, or are they both equally valid? I am curious if there are any nuanced differences between the two.

Meaning of Qu'est-ce que c'est

In the 2 question quiz given at the end of the lesson a question asks "what does Qu'est-ce que c'est mean?" the literal translation is 'What is it that it is' which is given in the lesson.

It should be more clear on what the question is asking for, the meaning or the translation.

Rapidement vs vite So, rapidement and vite are synonymous; however when I typed in vite for Henri runs quickly, it was marked as incorrect. Because they are synonymous, I feel that «vite» should be included as a correct response as well as rapidement.

Ton assiette. 'ton' is masculine. Right? So why we use 'elle' in the example?

leur vs à eux

Is "Il va leur téléphoner." the same as " Il va téléphoner à eux."?

In other words, can a sentence written with indirect object pronouns be replaced by one with stress pronouns?

je vais mal vs je suis malade

What is the difference between mal and malade? It looks like aller is used for mal and être for malade, but what's the difference. There's also "j'ai mal" using avoir, (not in this lesson). But given the context in comparison to this lesson, I'm guessing j'ai mal is used to say specifically where it hurts, but I'm not understanding the other two.

My Childhood Memories in French in 15 sentences using Passe Compose and L'imparfait.

Memories are so precious and pure. Childhood memories are special for everyone. I have a lot of fond memories from my childhood and I love looking back on the good times. Even though, having grown up as a child, I had a fairly uneventful life. My parents were never really home. So I could basically do whatever I wanted to. Someone came to prepare the food. I usually came back at 4:30 p.m. and had lunch afterwards. I loved watching cartoons so much that I would stay up late at night just to watch cartoons. I always tried to study hard for my parents. My mom came back on weekends and my dad came once a month. I vividly remember going to dinner with my parents every time my dad came home. It was a time of celebration for all of us when a family got together and we were just happy in our own bubble. I will always cherish my childhood memories, forever.

Using le, la, les, du, de la, de, des I've read through the relevant lessons, but I'm still not clear on a few points: If want to say "He likes cheese" do I say "Il aime le fromage" ? What about the negative: "He doesn't like cheese" is it "Il n'aime pas le fromage" ? Why is "I adore cucumbers" "J'adore les concombres" but "I eat apples" "je mange des pommes" ? What about with "avoir peur" is it "il a peur des chiens" ? In the negative would it be "il n'a pas peur de chien". ?
