Bonjour Connie !
Indeed, both "une liste de ce qui nous fait envie" and "une liste de ce dont nous avons envie" are both correct and similar expressions :)
The expression "faire envie à [quelqu'un]" literally means "to give envy to [someone]" - to provoke the desire to have it. It's another way to express that something takes your fancy ;)
Cette glace me fait très envie par cette chaleur.
I hope that's helpful!
Bonne journée !

Bonjour! J’aime bien cette pratique audio, mais je ne comprends pas la phrase: “On devrait faire une liste de ce qui NOUS FAIT ENVIE . . .” Pourriez-vous expliquer l’expression “fait envie”? Est-ce qu’on pourrait dire aussi: “ . . . une liste de ce dont nous avons envie”? Merci!
