In the short video, the examples of a "le haricot" as an aspirated "H" and "l'hotel" as a silent "H" are given. I really cannot hear a difference. It seems to me that "Haricot" is pronounced as "aricot" without an unaspirated "H". The same for "La hache". At least, they are not pronounced as we pronounce an "H" in the English "Help" for example. So, that's what I am asking for, some "Help".
I also notice that the dictionary gives the following English translations of "avoir hate": "to be anxious to", "to be looking forward to", "to be in a hurry to", but does NOT give "I can't wait to". Any comment?
I’ve lived in France a little while now and for « On the floor, the tiles are blue like the ocean » I automatically wrote « Au sol, le carrelage est bleu comme l’océan », which was accepted, but in final translation I see « Sur le sol, le carreaux sont bleus comme l’océan ». Is mine more a spoken translation ?
What is the difference between:
Qu’est-ce que c’est que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?
and
Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?
The text uses "Je serai là" I used "J'y serai" Is my alternate acceptable? If not, why not? Thank you.

Hi,
" D'ailleurs, ça me rappelle que Paul m'avait prêté un livre passionnant que j'ai toujours chez moi ! - Tu ne les as pas revus depuis tout ce temps ? - Non, et du coup, je n'ai pas encore pu le lui rendre ! "
In this sentence I put "je ne suis pas encore arrivé à le lui rendre !" which I think works as well?

Why doesn’t Kwiziq also accept “ On ne pense que soi-même”?
