Ted's Question

I'm also looking forward to an answer to Ted's question below. In addition, the lesson contains the heading

VERBS IN -EXER, -ETER AND -ELER (È) :

If in Exer the x stands for any other letter, that would include eler and eter, so why does the heading expressly state them?

Subjunctive - avant que je ne commence à apprendre le français

Why is the above verb "commence" in the present tense? I understand that after "Avant que" one uses the subjunctive, but shouldn't it be past subjunctive - therefore " avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le français.

Thanks

1) Ce sont tous mes meubles =These are all of my furniture or All these are my furniture? 'Tous' is pronouns or adjective in this sentence?

3) Can 'all of you' be translated as 'vous tous', eg: 'Vous tous pouvez manger les pommes'? Is tous a pronouns in this sentence?

Être aux anges

I assume this is an idiomatic expression similar to the English espression, to be in heaven, meaning to be very happy.

Est-ce qu'on peut lire les leçons de ''français'', ''en français''?

Je constate que tout les leçons de Français sont en anglais. J'ai entendu que c'est mieux d'apprendre un langue dans le même langue.

Cest-tu possible d'avoir les leçons écrit en français? Selon moi ça serait utile pour tout le monde.

Merci :)

avant que sans "que"

This isn't the first time in a dictation where a word appears in the text, but isn't in the spoken section. In this specific case, "que" is absent in the spoken portion of the phrase "on s'est vus jeudi avant que vous ne partiez." It (que) is used 8 times in this exercise, and clearly articulated 7 times, (minus the portion mentioned). Is this an error? Or a natural omission for advanced french speaker? Perhaps something to add in another lesson?
