Hi! Could anyone elaborate on why "à part" is incorrect au lieu que "séparément" as well as "poursuivre" for "continuer"? Thanks in advance!
''Je crois que le modèle que nous imaginions, où les gens travaillaient de chez eux, s'est concrétisé.''
For example, in the sentence above, 'où' does not mean 'when' or 'where'; rather, it is used to describe the 'modèle', which is not a time or place. Why is the use of 'où' still correct?
Thank you.

One of the translations in the quiz was 'Everybody wants to do their best'. This may be in common usage now but correctly, I think, it should be 'his/her' best. Here 'everybody' is singular hence the singular verb 'wants', so the pronoun needs to correspond to the noun as well as the verb.
how can i understand that 'the last letter ' in one word is silence or not?
Hello,
My listening is crappy, as I simply cannot understand what is being said even when I know some words.... Pls any tips on how to improve my comprehension in listening?
In the last sentence we use c'est to represent the baby girl. Meanwhile, all along we knew we were referring to her as a girl and not expressing a general notion. How come we used "c'est" instead of "elle" in the last sentence? Thank you.
This is a trick, isn't it. That 'to inhabit' is a synonym for 'to live in' in English is exploited here. Damn you.
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
