Point of interest - Université Harvard or 'de Harvard' or 'd'Harvard' or some/all of the preceding ?The speaker clearly says "Université d'Harvard" but is this technically correct ? How would we know ?
Wikipedia refers to Université Harvard, and uses 'de Harvard' for lists of 'presidents of Harvard' etc.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universit%C3%A9_Harvard
Bab.la also shows 'de Harvard' for diplomas '(from )Harvard' etc and in a number of examples referring to Harvard University uses "Université de Harvard". https://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-french/harvard
Examples of all 3 are found on this page from linguee https://www.linguee.com/english-french/translation/harvard+university.html
The university is named after (Rev) John Harvard, so my first thought was that it would follow the same format as for instance "Institut Pasteur" and should just be Université Harvard, or at least be treated as h aspiré and be 'de Harvard'. Last on my list would have been d'Harvard. However it appears all are acceptable ?

Rendre visite has a somewhat negative meaning in terms of something being an obligation. That's fine if that's what is intended but you "aller voir" someone who is a friend.
hi,
when you guys have this sentence as an example un riche comme cresus homme it was marked wrong is that because it should have something else describing the riche? Also as i'm searching to understand this should i treat these as like the similie and metaphors as we do in english?
thank you

Hi, is there anybody know how to get through B1, especially its grammars? I have been starting this level for a month and I think it's extremely difficult. At this point I just wanna give up and I start to hate French to be honest :(
Hello there.
In this question: Les champions sont…… heureux.
I think that tous(adj) and tout(adv) are both correct.
Les champions sont tous heureux.
=The champions are all happy.
Les champions sont tout heureux.
=The champions are very happy.
If I'm wrong, pleas tell me which indéfini is true
Bonsoir,
I think there is a mistake in the translation of "tu sens ça? I translated it as Do you smell that?, Do you feel that? but had it only partially correct. Your answer also noted Do you taste that? To taste is normally translated as goûter - so why are you using sentir instead? It does not sound right. Please explain. Thanks !
