For the translation of 'thin, clean' does it matter which order the adjectives appear in French ?

I cannot hear "qui" 

Hello, I couldn't see an example with 'cet', when do you use it please?

I agree that it might have been helpful to have "enfiler" included in the vocabulary list. However, even though I wasn't familiar with it, I could write it out listening and sounding it out. I then looked it up in the dictionary. It was fun to learn a new word this way, and actually I think I will be more likely to remember it than if it had been given to me ahead of time.

My question is simply why "croiser" was used instead of "se croiser" and when is it appropriate to use each form of this verb. Some examples would be useful.

Merci !

This question distinctly says 'you leave (from) Narbonne' . Narbonne is the port or station or airport from which your transport leaves. Such a construction 'from Narbonne' does not imply that you live there or have any other connection with it other than as ypour point of departure. Quitter seems to me entirely wrong. Unless I am mistaken, quitter implies leaving somewhere you have been for some time, for good. I also don't understand why it is used in the ' leaving work at 7pm' exercise. Thats something the subject may well do every day. Why is quitter appropriate as opposed to partir?

Could you explain why «coquille» is not accepted for "shell"? In LaRousse, «coquillage» appears to primarily mean the group of animals, and can refer to only the soft living part inside the shell. Indeed the first definition of «coquillage» is «Mollusque revêtu d'une coquille».
