Génial! À propos, on dirait ‘le côté clair de la forcé’ pour the light side of the forcé, or ‘le côté lumineux’? Aussi, comment dit-on ‘mat the forcé be with you’; ‘à toi soit la Force’? 

I always learn so much with these Weekend Workouts; thanks for providing a way to practice as we learn. 

Is it possible to provide the translations or at least a common source to look up the words and phrases suggested ahead of the Writing Challenges?  I have often chosen different words and phrases than are used in the later given context.

Also, more specifically to this exercise, aren't we to use Le Présent when stating situations that are habitual?  Here the Passé Composé is chosen for "Nous avons joué aux cartes, comme d'habitude ...," so I misunderstood something. 

Merci !

I read the lesson and it indicated that in the negative, with depuis on should use the passe' compose and I got it wrong. The correct answer shows the present tense should be used.  This is contrary to the lesson. I am confused and need clarification.

Thank you, Norma 

Oh la la! In the last phrase of this dictée, "Ils ont eu le droit de manger," it's hard to understand "ont eu." 

Was the speaker's mouth full of chocolate eggs? ;) 

But seriously, a liaison between "ont_eu" would've made it clearer. Nonetheless, it does seem rather "frenchy" that liaison's aren't necessarily obligatory, but rather subjective, yeah???

I am confused.. why the “except” if those countries and continents are feminine.. if the except means they are masculine, the (all of them are feminine)” makes no sense!

I think it would be really helpful to have english translations to understand what I'm listening to. Other than that, this is great thank you
