French language Q&A Forum

Hello all,

I'm just in communication with support at the moment and I'm starting to think I dreamt up something. A while ago does anyone remember there being a listening practice history whenever you entered a listening lesson that you have already done. You used to get the date you did it plus the score you gave yourself. Anyone remember?

Many thanks

Martin
PS. Else I think I'm going mad!

In this sentence, "Je veux que tu saches qu'il veut que tu viennes", why not "qu'il veuille" subjunctive in place of "qu'il veut?"

Why is it the Canal du Midi and not the Canal de Midi, given that Midi describes the Canal and not the Midi is possessive of the Canal.   

To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources. 

Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink. 

Quelle est la différence d'utilisation entre les magasins, les commerces et les boutiques ? Est-ce une question de taille, de spécialisation, etc. ?

I get that "magasin" is generally a retail outlet & "commerce" is more for small business, but I've seen them used interchangeably. In the States "boutique" is usually for high-end or very niche-oriented items, but that doesn't always seem to track en français.

Petite question. Je n’ai rien trouvé concernant un doute que j’ai où le sujet dont on parle s’agit de plusieurs noms et avec quel mot on doit faire l’accord.

Exemple:  La liste des mots que j’ai apprise.  

The question doesn't specify whether the pain is physical or emotional, don't understand why answer is incorrect.

I love this Alsatian news broadcast. So funny! The play on words are superb: Prime Minister Cresson and watercress; the S P meaning "ça prûle"; the Haut and Bas-Rhin with reins. So funny. Most of all, l had the acute feeling that l was in France, but maybe in Germany...maybe France? Great way to teach the discombobulation Alsatians have experienced over time  through being attached to this country and then that and then this one again. The presenter's suit and tie etc.,  say it all. 😀 Thank you! A fun end to my French learning today.

In the 5th sentence of the full text to read and listen to, the audio says "Mon fils David, lui va être un loup garou", but the text shows "Mon fils David va être un loup garou". 

Hi, in the line “nous avons développé des intérêts communs” I believe I’m hearing a short connecting word/syllable between “intérêts” and “communs”. Am I imagining this?
