To avoid having listening to the whole segment again just to try to catch the syllable or two that you can’t quite get. Maybe upload these to YouTube, which provides this function natively.

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!
...as “which respect all the norms”. I’d translate this as “which are in accordance with all the standards”. Also, I’d say “glare protection standards” instead of “glare protection norms”.
One of the quiz questions: Nous ________ une fois par mois. We have money wired once a month. HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money
The answer is listed as "Nous faisons virer de l'argent une fois par mois." Could it also be "Nous faisions virer de l'argent une fois par mois," since it's a repetitive action?
The suggested grammar sections to read did not relate to what I got wrong, which was mostly prepositions or vocabulary. Does that mean you don’t have lessons on those points? Maybe you should add them. I don’t think you should test on points that you don’t have explanations for on your site.
This is in one of the green callout boxes in the lesson: "In this negative structure, you only use de or d' in front of a vowel or mute h." This really confused me when I first read it because it seems to say you shouldn't use either one if there's no vowel/mute h. I think a comma or parens would make it clearer: "In this negative structure, you only use de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h)."
Hi there,
Not sure where or how to make this suggestion, but I always try to test myself by looking at the English first and trying to get the French right, but the way your website is set up, it’s almost impossible to do this. Since so many examples are repeated within the body of any given lesson, could you perhaps try changing the order so the English precedes the French at least once for each example? It would help us a lot do more active learning than merely reading the examples out loud. Thanks, phoebe w.
This is a really comprehensive lesson. Cécile even provided a list of words beginning with "h" in the comments above but included only nouns and verbs. It would be great if you added a list of adjectives beginning with "h" so we can see which ones follow which rules for "tout" all in one place.
