Come on guys, faire les magasins is as correct as faire le shopping. You admit this and, besides, you haven't made any distinction between the two options.
I've been pronouncing the nasal vowel "IN" as "EN" as pronounced in "souvent" this whole time. Is it eh(n)? If so is it pronounced that way in every scenario?
By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre.
I wanted to ask if you could have the option of listening to this in a beginner speed as it is now, then pick a higher speed after you have gone through the lesson.
Thank you for this great site. I don’t use it as often as I should. Too many courses on the go, but I’m planning to make better use of this site this year.
Why une brosse a dents and not aux because dents is plural?
Hi Céline, in your excellent response below, just checking that after 'que' je is needed (or implied). Otherwise , wouldn't qui be used?
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspirational video. It would have been a fabulous exhibit to have seen in person.
Bonjour, can you let me know if I understand 'new' correctly or just simplifying it too much, my notes are:
Neuf - used after noun but only if the item you are speaking of is brand new (but not on living things)
Neuve - used after noun but only if the item is new to you but not necessarily brand new
Nouveau - is the masculine form and used before consonants
Nouvel - is the masculine form and used before vowels
Nouvelle - is the feminine form and used before nouns OR vowels
Does that sound right?
Merci
