Very difficult parts to hearIt seems the speaker is saying "l'impact de gigantesque." I understand that a "de" here would be incorrect, but that is what I hear. I presume this is because she is actually emphasizing the end of the word as in "l'impACT gigantesque." Nevertheless, the emphasis on the end of the word seems over done.
Later, it sounds as if she is saying "cette décision était facile." I understand, too, that this would be incorrect grammatically, but nevertheless it is almost impossible for me to here clearly "ait été."
Perhaps the lesson here is that one should not go by what one thinks one hears, but figure out what would be grammatically correct. I guess that is probably what we do when listening to English. We "sort of" listen but actually are just following the flow of the idea being transmitted and fill in the precise details only as needed.
I used
1) 'récompensant' for 'gratifiant'
Also
2)'ausculter' for 'diagonistique'
3)pour sept ans instead of 'pendant sept ans'
Please let me know if its right
Merci
P.J
is diagnostiquer an er verb?
I'm confused about the difference between "les jours derniers" vs. "les derniers jours".
In the lesson, "les jours derniers" is translated as "these last days" while "les derniers jours" is translated as "these past few days." I'm having a hard time seeing the distinction.
In the French translation of 'After engineers have finally perfected driverless cars' no word is given for 'finally' (eg. 'Après que les ingénieurs auront perfectionné les voitures sans chauffeur').
I read in a French magazine:
La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.
I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country.
But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !
On est très proches, ma sœur et moi. On est gentils.
Here we have est with proches/gentils. Is it a general rule?
Can someone explain difference between 'brun' and 'marron' in french with examples?
Merci

Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"
