Valentine et moi prenons aussi des cours de rockle vendredi. Elle est une très bonne danseuse, et quant à moi, je fais de mon mieux !
This was marked as wrong, for the "Elle est" part. It says that I should use "C'est une très bonne danseuse" and points me to this lesson. Après moi, y a quelque chose qui cloche là... Is it really wrong to use "Elle est"? If so, why?
I understand that, in general, you'd use "c'est" when it's followed by an indefinite article, but that rule doesn't seem to apply in this case. Correct or not, it just doesn't sound right to me. Moreover, the fact remains whether "elle est" is actually wrong here.

Nicole, I do not see a ‘vocabulary themes’ tab. Where is that?
Are there verbs that don't follow the structured outline noted here - 'stem' from future simple conjugation, 'endings' from past imperfect conjugation? I think that I have not yet (early days) come across a verb that does not conjugate in the conditional in accordance with these simple 'rules' and having this clarified could/should/would make it much easier to remember. Even for irregular verbs it seems to me that if you know the imparfait and the future simple (both of which are also pretty consistent with 'endings' but not the stems) you have all you need to know the conditional.

On a language forum a Kwiziq user showed a chart from Kwiziq labelled "Your Progress So Far". The chart headers are Level, Achievements, Score and Topics Tested. The chart shows all of the levels (A0, A1, etc) and next to each level has the shield you've achieved, the % score, the number of topics tested (e.g. 13 of 13), and next to that is a "Test Now" button.
She said she can only see the chart when she goes to Cancel Subscription page. Surely there is another way to view such a useful chart! Does anyone know how?
"Note that the latter structure sounds very formal in French! In everyday language, you would usually use one of the alternatives listed below."
How would the structure look like for alternative form look like?
I don't understand "le tout".
Is "le" article or pronoun?
Does "tout" mean "everything"? Is it an adjective or pronoun or noun?
In the sentence "On a visite le Mont St Michel qui nous a laisses ......", shouldn't it be ".....qui nous a laisse " referring to Mont St Michel?
Also, I think "....on est alles..." should be "...on est alle...", "on est parti..." should be "on est parti...", etc.?
Also, why can't I use 'demander des questions' instead of 'poser des questions'?
Why is it 'le musée du Louvre' and ' le musée d'Orsay'
If I follow the logic for le musée du Louvre, then ' le musée d'Orsay' should be ' le musée de l'Orsay'
