My understanding is that in French "menu" is the word for the chalkboard list of daily specials. And "carte" is the paper list of all the items that the restaurant can serve. I used "à la carte" in this exercise. I guess Kwiziq is not making that distinction in A1. Or, I am under a false impression.
The pronunciation here does not elide the s of pas into ecouter. I would have thought it would be pronounced, PAZ ECOUTER. No?
Hi, a “rewind 10 seconds”, or something similar, would add great value to this exercise type. Currently, I need to re-listen to the whole audio just to try to catch a single word I’ve missed (and I need to do this many times).
FYI: I believe "vrai(e)" should be included in this lesson.
If we had a dog, is same as.. if we were to have a dog, which would seem to be imperfect, not passé composé. You have trained us to use imperfect in this situation: Si nous avions un chien.......

a) Je dormais quand tu m'as interrompu OR b) J'étais dormir quand tu... In sentence b) is être redundant as the verb dormir can be used?
In the one example sentence « je me lève à 6 heures... » isn't translated as getting up but rather waking up at 6, which I thought was reserved for se réveiller. Are they often used interchangeably like in English ?
In the ceci/cela lesson, cela dit is translated as 'that said' though the verb is in the present tense. Is there a 'rule' for this or is it simply idiomatic?
Merci!
If a sentence says "Elle a fait cueillir des fleurs.", then to turn des fleurs into a pronoun object I would normally use "en". Is it correct to say, "Elle en a fait cueillir." She had some picked. Or should it be "Elle les a fait cueillir." I have never seen an example of causative faire with "en", so not sure if it is correct.
