French language Q&A Forum

L'Académie officially changed the rules on this a couple of months ago: https://www.france24.com/fr/20190228-academie-francaise-feminisation-langue-metier

As recently as 2014 they said the feminized forms (professeure, écrivaine, etc.) were "véritables barbarismes", but now their use "ne constitue pas une menace pour la structure de la langue"... They specify that the e at the end must never be pronounced though, so it's effectively just a spelling change.

I found the phrases and vocabulary used in this activity to be extremely difficult! I didn't feel ready for this level of translation at all. There is often quite a disparity between the level of language used in the Study Plan lessons (very simple) versus these dictation activities (much more complex). I would love to have more learning in the Study Plan that would support this level of language complexity. 

It's a bit weird...
Votre voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage. 
translated to: Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small

hmm... having the first part of the dialogue: 'Votre voiture est petite.'
the given correct answer: 'Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.'  sounds to me as: Yes, but it (the car) is small in my garage.

now, the English 'Yes, but my garage is small' I would rather say in French: 'Oui, mais mon garage est petit.'

I might be wrong but this french statement / opinion example is somewhat not the best one here 
anyone to explain this ?

I didn't get a single translation correct, not even close. Was this really A2? I feel so defeated. There was so much new vocabulary in there. Is it possible to add more hints (like vocab) for this level so we can focus on structure?

One of the questions that I keep getting on here is asking for how to say “what is a baguette” - it provides the ending of “... une baguette”.

It says that the answer is Qu'est-ce qu’ and that Qu'est-ce que c'est is incorrect

According to this lesson, would both be correct along with C’est quoi?

A little bit to fast for me. I'm (probably) A2 - ie, not quite at the dizzy heights of B1 (That seems to be an impossible dream at the moment).

Having read the transcript and read the translation, I was able to follow most (70%) of what the narrator was saying.

I thought French was supposed to be easy! (It isn't).

I'm killing myself trying to learn it. I'm a doctor and supposed to be smart but French is the hardest thing I've ever done....

HELP!
