I think I'm a bit confused when to use "voir" and "regarder". Also, would it be wrong to say "elle s'assoit toujour près de la fenêtre"? 

The lesson contains no statement on how le conditional passé is formed, leaving the student to infer the rule from examples alone. I don't find that a great way to learn. Looking at some of the Q&A on this lesson from others it seems I'm not alone.

'Some' in this sentence can be thousands of people, we cannot use 'quelques' in this case, is it? But using de numbreux sounds subjective

Can anyone explain to me why there is a "ne" in the following sentences:

"Je crains que vous ne conduisiez trop vite" translated in the quiz as "I fear that you drive too fast."

"Les feuilles dorées auront tombé avant que nous n'arrivions" translated in the quiz as "The golden leaves will have fallen before we arrive."

Thank you.

I find the use of the "X" here somewhat confusing. Is it standing in for "any consonant"? Or rather, any consonant except for "t" and "l"? If so, why does the first example show "compléter" as an example of a "eXer" verb? There seem to be two other ways of expressing this "any consonant" stand in on this site. I find "(-)" is used in some lessons, and "*" is used in others. None of the three are explained anywhere that I could find.

This seems needlessly confusing to me.

I just discovered this site and am very impressed otherwise.

How would you say  " in my last summer vacations i.........."

Thank you!

Like everyone else, I find this lesson very confusing, and I think it is because it's using a very poor example of when to use articles. I believe the translation is incorrect. 

Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait.
I like neither cheese nor milk.

If this example is talking about specific cheese and specific milk, then the English translation should be, "I like neither the cheese nor the milk." But that is not what you have here. The translation you give is general, not specific. It really makes the whole lesson contradictory and confusing.
