So fast!

It would be so helpful with exercises like this if we could slow the playback down. I play it 20 times and still struggle at times.

Does anyone know of any websites where you can paste the sentence in and adjust the playback?

Thanks

Why il n'ai pas gentil, not il n'est pas?

Il est gentil. He is nice.
For But he is not nice enough, I chose il n'est pas assez gentil. The correct answer was marked il n'ai pas assez gentil.

Pronunciation of "middle e"

It seems that with some adverbs formed by adding -ment to the feminine adjective form the "middle e" is pronounced and others not (example: lentement (not pronounce) and fortement (pronounced). Am I hearing this correctly? If so, is there a rule when to pronounce and when not to?

Thanks!

Still not getting it...

Thsee are what I think are correct:

Je veux le café = I want the coffee

Je veux le café = I want coffee

Je veux du café = I want some coffee

Ils veulent des cafés = They want coffees

Ils veulent du café = They want some coffee

ILS veulent le café = They want coffee

Ils veulent de café = They want a coffee.

I think these are all correct grammar, depending on the situation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
