Quelle est la difference entre: "un rendez-vous" et "une reunion" ? 

Je pense qu'"un rendez-vous" = "an appointment" and "une reunion" = "meeting".

Est-ce que c'est juste ?

I agree with Frank. In the audio there are complete phrases which are missing: "une poule faite en chocolat au lait"; and "un lapin fait en chocolat noir".

Also, the written summary at the end doesn't match what is given during the lesson. The answers given don't use the expression, "fait de" but simply use "de". Which leads me to the next question:

The use of "faite de + chocolat au lait/chocolat noir". The lesson related to this states that to describe what something is made of "en" or "de" is used and with foods "a la" or "au" to describe a flavor. Why then is "fait en..." used rather than "une poule en chocolat au lait" for example? And, why "une poule de chocolat" rather than, "une poule en chocolat"?

And, why "un beau rubin dore" rather than "un beau rubin en or" ?

Merci pour votre reponse.

I am just wondering about the phrase, "en fin de matinee."  Would you translate this to mean: "late morning"; and is "en fin de" commonly used in similar expressions? ie. "en fin d'apres-midi"; "en fin de soiree", etc. I also notice that there the definite article is left out.

Merci par avance.

The exercise skipped forward several times before I could grade myself. Some sort of glitch in the system, or did I do something wrong inadvertently?
