Why is the music so loud? it's offputting!
Hi! I've been living in Québec for a while now and i just wanted to check something? When I translated turn off the light as fermer la lumière, it said that the correct way to say was éteindre la lumière. i've never heard anyone say that before, it's always fermer when you want to translate turn off. Is that just a Québec thing? I thought everyone said that
This comment regards the content rather than the French language practice, so not really that important. The lack of tiebreaks in the deciding set was the case when this exercise was first published a couple of years ago, but now in 2022, all 4 Grand Slam tournaments have standardised and are using tiebreaks in the final set (they go to 10 points rather than to 7 points like in the other sets).
Salut, j'ai trouvè cet exercise:
"..... tableau-... est beau, tandis que ... tableau-... est horrible".
La livraison dit de completer avec un adjectif démonstratif. Merci a tous.
In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.
I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.
How do you know 'lui' in the instance below is a woman?
Il n'avait jamais pu lui avouer la vérité?

In one quiz question it states :
Quand j'étais enfant, ________ au chœur du collège.
When I was a child, I used to belong to the high school choir.
(HINT: Use "appartenir" (to belong))
The correct English for collège is middle school. Lycée is high school.
It’s some consolation to me, having read all the submissions, that I’m not the only one having difficulty with this concept. Has the reconstruction, promised a year ago, been implemented yet? If not, may I make a suggestion? How about, instead of asking "If she could fly, she would go to the moon.", ask instead "If she was able to fly, she would go to the moon.”?
is quoi qui se passe instead of quoi qu'il arrive acceptable?
