"Ma" Mere, "Mon' pere, "Mon" frere
Salut!
In the audio of the three above words, "le" and "la" are spoken instead of "ma" and "mon", which is what is actually written.
Merci!
Thank you D for pointing this out, it has been corrected ...

Basic question, in English we say "big brother", I was told "grand frère" was wrong and it should be "frère plus agé" or "vieux frère?? Thank you."
Hi Phil,
Funnily enough, I heard 'grand-frère' yesterday in an episode of the BBC4 French series 'Engrenages' ( Spiral)! , said by a fifteen year old about his 'big brother'.
Having said that I think it is regarded as childish, and you would probably say -
Mon frère aîné /plus agé
I personally have never heard 'vieux frère'.
Hope this helps!
