1/ Nous avons froid quand vient l'hiver 

2/ Nous avons froid quand l'hiver vient 

how can i understand that 'the last letter ' in one word is silence or not?

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

Hi, I wonder about passer par qqn, there are examples as follows:

Yann passera par chez Laura après le travail.

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici

But what about: Yann passera chez Laura ... & Ma tante est passée à la boulangerie.(I've just omitted par). 

Isn't the meaning the same here ? Thank you.

I understand that one uses the present tense for the immediate future, but when does the future lose its 'immediate' character? I would think that tomorrow is NOT immediate, and would require the future tense!
