In the short video, the examples of a "le haricot" as an aspirated "H" and "l'hotel" as a silent "H" are given. I really cannot hear a difference. It seems to me that "Haricot" is pronounced as "aricot" without an unaspirated "H". The same for "La hache". At least, they are not pronounced as we pronounce an "H" in the English "Help" for example. So, that's what I am asking for, some "Help".
Mon amie fait ses propres bijoux.
Shouln't it be: Ma amie fait ses propres bijoux ?
I see that it refers to feminine friend, not masculine.

Why is "The monster revealed white, sharp canines" = Le monstre a révélé des canines blanches et pointues"
I thought the monster = masculine plural and blanches = feminine plural. They don't match up.
«Quelques» et «peu» ont-ils la même signification en français?
Yhere is nothing in the context and no hint as to why either answer could or could not be correct.
_______ il ne vienne pas?How come he's not coming?Comment ça se fait qu'Comment ce fait-il qu'OK, after ten minutes of work I *think* I finally found the answer in 2b (it might have been 2a — I can’t look while typing this) of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
My question was how to decide between ce and elle. I *think* the answer is that this is a general statement of opinion. It would be nice if the first answer marked with the green checkmark as a correct answer were the one that contains a link to the lesson/article including this information. Actually it would be nice if that answer contained links to the other related articles as well.
Note that the first answer marked with the green checkmark is NOT correct. More accurately, it is ONLY correct if one encounters this question in the context of a lesson. When one encounters the question as part of a « Test Now » set of ten questions for level A1 (as I did, of course) there is no lesson context to tell you to use ce instead of ça. That wasn’t my problem, but it was not helpful to encounter that « correct answer » while trying to solve my issue.
why does it have to be faire with aikido? why is joue a l'aikido wrong?
Is there a reason for the negative form being different? And if so, why doesn't it apply with the verb etre? Is it to do with tangible and intangible objects, as in, if I drink beer I am drinking THIS beer in my glass whereas if I don't drink beer, this refers to beer in general?
