I've always learned that you would never say someone is "très excité", as it has a more sexual connotation. As a result, I've avoided saying this phrase for 13+ years.

Can you really say this without someone doing a double take? Or is there a better way to say this?

Difference between action going on right now and a more general state of affairs?For instance, if I say in English "I'm studying French," I could mean "Oh, I'm actually reading my French lessons right now" or "I'm taking a course in French, but not right at this exact second." Can you use the 'être en train de" construction for the second sense, or does that not work in French?

Are these sentences correct?Hello, I believe I'm over thinking and I'm not sure if the following sentences are correct in terms of word usage. 1. Ce lieu est le foyer de la plus ancienne colonie (not sure if I'm using le foyer correctly) 2. Un vaste terrain, se compose d'une population petite (should it be terrain qui se compose?) 3. C'est une terre d'histoire

Au vs. Aux

Even though I do now understand the difference between when to use those two prepositions, I am having trouble pronouncing them. Is there a way? Is the X silent? Thank you.
