I would have written Elle goûté la vanille for she tasted vanilla since it didn’t indicate she sensed the taste of vanilla, which is different.

This is super helpful.

I read the written French easily but understanding the spoken is so so so hard for me. This is just at the right level. I can understand maybe 1/3rd of it.

Why can you say “par le train” but not “par le métro”?

I just got marked wrong for “par le métro” in a quiz

Love the lesson. My only issue with the title itself, maybe it should be 'You don't have to say un or une when stating someones profession'

pronunciation of je courrais, je courais, je courrai

Is there any difference in pronunciation between "je courrai" (le futur), "je courais" (l'imparfait) and "je courrais" (le conditionel) ? Thanks.

Use of a verb tense (Futur antérieur) that hasn't been studied?

In this lesson examples such as "Vous aurez déménagé d'ici avril" and "Nous aurons fini de creuser la piscine d'ici le mois prochain and others use the futur antérieur, yes?

Futur antérieur is not difficult to understand. However, I am following the Lawless French website algorithm for studying B1 subjects. Up to the point of "By + [point in time] = d'ici ..." the futur antérieur verb structure has not been introduced.

It's a little disconcerting to mix key grammar points, such as futur antérieur, into examples before they have been studied.

I'm just not getting the pronunciation of cueillir and the derivatives. The "ill" disappears.
