French language Q&A Forum

In the third sentence, the second phrase in English to be translated is given in the exercise as "...the pronunciation is difficult...", without the adverb "very" being used before "difficult" , however the French translation in the exercise & in the final full text is given as "...la prononciation est très difficile..." instead of "...la prononciation est difficile...".

Is it always incorrect to write "vingtième siècle" rather than "XXe siècle" ?

I get caught out by the punctuation in the listening exercises, partly because modern English writing has now dropped so many of the commas that we used to have, and partly because it’s difficult to know from the audio what punctuation is needed. A lesson on this would be useful.

your answer "ce qui me plait le plus dans ce métier"

should it not be "ce qui me plais le plus dans ce métier" ?

My comment is similar to Elizabeth's, so I hope your response will also be similar.

My answer to...

À ce moment-là, les étoiles ________ dans le ciel.

was "sont apparus". This is wrong because I didn't know that étoiles is feminine. But the only correction given was "ont apparu".

I have never saw the use of bicross before, but always VTT (vélo tout terrain). Is this a difference between written and spoken language or is it used along eachother? 

Thanks in advance 

When I get an exercise starting with "Quand j'étais petit" I always think of the song by the same name by Ultra Vomit, a French comedy-metal band. I didn't even know comedy-metal was a genre before I heard them!

the answer given as correct for, Elle fait de la danse , is She takes dance lessons.    Surely it would mention ‘lesson’ in the French? Doesn’t it just mean she goes dancing regularly? 

merci

In the introduction to the exercise, the man is called Gabriel.  In the actual text, he is Gilles.
