Self study guidance/planning?Hello. I have decided to work towards the DELF A2. I have a native french partner who is willing to support me with reviewing my progress, and a selection of text books from previous (failed) attempts to do attend french classes. I'm more motivated than the past as we'll be moving to France! Amazing what pressure can do! I am trying to find suggested plans and structures to guide my learning - something a classroom would offer. The Kwiziq guidance for grammar at each level is invaluable, the advice on Lawless French and a handful of mock exams - so I'm not completely at a loss. However, I wonder if people know of any other helpful resources specifically to support the self-study planning and structure towards A2?

Connaitre vs sais

"Claire knows the shop closing time" requires "connaitre", but "Claire knows the shop closes at midday" requires "savoir"? Are they not both facts (connaitre)? Or both stating knowledge of a fact (savoir)? What's the difference? Very confusing!

This, that and soIn discussing the use of "le" or " l' " in a response as a substitute for an idea in a previous statement the explanation is that in English we often use "that" or "it" in the same way. But in the translation you use the word "so," which is what we usually say. It's a small thing but I'd suggest adding "so" to those other words in the explanation.
