"sortir" - it has both verb intransitive and transitive - can we use 2 voiced for "to be released/published" ?Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière.The new James Bond was released last week.
On peut aussi exprimer la même chose ("...was released last week") avec la voix passive ?: "Le nouveau James Bond a été sorti semaine dernière"

Tous les parents français la redoute !

Bonjour, should "Tous les parents la redoute" read "Tous les parents la redoutent" ? Merci, Matthew.

In the first sentence, Français is capitalized; I thought that nationalities were not capitalized: example: Je suis française. Is that incorrect?

Function of “ne”With reference to “Ma nièce de 13 ans, elle, ne jure que par Soprano”. I see that “jurer que” means “swears”, giving us “My 13-year-old niece swears by Soprano”, but what is the “ne” doing there? I don’t think it’s the “ne explétif”, and I also don’t think it’s meant to create a “ne … que” ( = only) structure. But how & why is it there?

avec vue ?

Why is there no article for "vue"? That is, why "avec vue sur la mer" and not "avec une vue sur la mer"? Merci!

Unclear speech.

The speech on this recording is very unclear. I really struggled to make out the words, even after listening to each phrase multiple times.
