Électriser and électrifier

"L'énergie qui se dégage du terrain est électrifiante."

I think this should be "L'énergie qui se dégage du terrain est électrisante."

According to Larousse/Robert/Collins (and wordreference), there are 2 verbs for the English 'electrify':

Figurative use (charged atmosphere, give an electric shock to etc)- électriser, with the adjective 'électrisant(e)'

Physical use (provide electricity supply etc) - électrifier, with the adjective 'électrifiant(e)'

Le levier de vitesseGearshift = gear stick in UK English. 'Gearshift' is an Americanism and your style sheet appears to be to provide a UK English translation followed by US English in square brackets. Similarly UK English would be to 'change gears' not to shift gears, to change into first gear etc.

The reason given for the imparfait in "mes mains n'arrêtait pas de trembler" is continuing action, but the lesson teaches that continuing action

would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?

Poor sound quality

The narrator of this exercise Le jour des rois was very muffled, like in an echo chamber.

For those of us trying to translate it is difficult enough to understand the words, but the poor sound quality compounded the difficulty.

Hopefully this can be addressed for future dictees.

Thank you, Norma Zippin
