In this example Je vois un soleil jaune et une fleur jaune. the pronounciation of the word jaune is very different for the first and second occurence. The first one is pronounced with an e almost like jauné, while the second one has a silent e like jaun.

Is the word pronounced differently depending on the gender, is the speech broken (it sounds very robotic), or is it pronounced differently depending on what word it comes before in the sentence (here ... jaune et ...)? 

Tu dois rester a la maison 

Hello,

Could you confirm whether "Le téléphone" needs to start with a capital letter "L" as both "le téléphone" and "Le téléphone" were marked as being correct and I have seen other examples on different Apps where there isn't always a capital letter at the start of a sentence in French.

Why is there no article after "amateur de" and before "histoire"? Is it just a fixed phrase?

 In this sentence - I can hear "impatient" - without the e.

HI, love the dictées. I get muddled with punctuation. The fluctuations of the tone of voice is not always a good hint, especially when we stop and start mid-sentence. Short of my  listening to the entire dictée a few times prior to starting, and taking notes, do you have any hints that might help? Thanks.

I am wondering why it is not "toute" in the second sentence since it would seem to refer to "la rentrée" which is feminine.

In spoken French, do Conditionnel Passé and Le Futur Antérieur sound noticeable different? It seems like it would be confusing.
