Could this be a mistake in the transcript?    ...qui tienne dans une cabin d'avion 

My dictionary offers both as a translation of teaspoon.  Only the latter was accepted in this exercise.  Is there a distinction?   In English, a teaspoon is a smaller spoon, i.e. smaller than a tablespoon, used to eat with or to stir something.  A teaspoon is also a unit of measurement.  We use the same word for both.  What about French ?  Is there a difference between petite cuillère and cuillère à café ? 

I have been subscribed to Lawless French for many years and appreciate your lessons, and also the Kwizig quizzes at the end of each lesson, but recently where I read "Test yourself on some of the French grammar used in this article" no quiz follows. Can you tell me why??

Can I say Qu'est instead of 

In the C1 writing exercise The King Cake, there is the phrase ‘ he or she will name out loud each person, who will then be given a piece of galette’.

The recommended translation of ‘who will then be given’ is ‘à qui on donnera ensuite’.

You could also say ‘à laquelle on donnera’ ?

I really enjoyed this article. Yes, it’s chestnut harvest time, but alas the very hot and dry summer here in south west France has resulted in smaller fruits. However, I have managed to harvest some nice horse chestnuts from a tree tucked away behind a nearby cemetery. I also learned this year to add a fig leaf to the cooking liqueur at it enhances the flavour.  I sous-vide the peeled fruits and freeze them in preparation for Christmas when I add to a meat based stuffing for stuffing the turkey neck cavity.

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...".

I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".

Can you tell me how to decide between usage of 'de' and 'des'

for example

regarder des vidéos de chatons et de bébés

j'ai écrit

vidéos des chatons et des bébés!

2)Also how to say

(Its quite congfusing)

Is it

 C'est déroutant!

Ca me confond un peu!

Merci beaucoup

Hello

I have often noticed that sentences in French begin with 'Et'. Is this considered 'good' French, as in English it would be considered very poor grammar?

Furthermore, I have often noticed the use of a comma before 'et'. Once again, in English this would be considered poor grammar. Is this optional or required in French? 

I look forward to your response. 

Thank you for your fantastic lessons!
