Quizzes for specific topicsIs there a way that you can be tested on specific lessons. For example, if you learn a couple of topics, can you have the quizzes reflect the topics learned ?

"They bring their computers."The sentence, as it stands in the subject line, appears not to be unique in English. Apart from "ils amènent leurs ordinateurs." could it not also be translated as "ils amènent ses orinateurs"? The first one meaning that the computers belong collectively to the group whereas the second option connotes that each one of the group brings his own computer. Or is the second option plainly wrong in French?

Would this be a correct parallel to GermanIs there anyone speaking German here? Because I couldn't get my head around the explanation given in this lesson. It just seems very difficult to explain to a native English speaker. However, I get the impression that "attendre" would translate to "warten" in German whereas "s'attendre à" corresponds to "erwarten". The former simply is a statement while the latter is putting the focus more on what you're waiting for. -- Chris.

What about "Je suis assis"?

A French friend recently corrected me when I told him:

"Je m'assieds dans ma voiture à présent."

He said I should say:

"Je suis assis dans ma voiture à présent."

Is one better to than the other?

More emphasis on 'to fit'I think the lesson does not currently explain clearly enough the use of 'Aller à' to mean 'to fit.' It is only mentioned once in passing in the initial explanation, and there is no associated example phrase at that point. In fact, there is only one phrase using it in this sense in the entire lesson, mixed in with nine other phrases in the examples and resources. I didn't get the second correct answer in question two of the Kwik Kwiz, mainly because of the lack focus on this meaning in the lesson. I think a minor tweak would make the lesson more balanced in explaining the different meanings of 'Aller à' Thanks, Michael P.s. I love the whole approach of Progress with Lawless French, and find it really addictive, which must surely be a good thing when learning a language.
