Bonjour - i'm confused as to why this is tierce instead of troisième. The lesson stated that tierce is used for fractions or portions and troisième is used for rank or order. A third party witness sounds like a ranking/ordering to me, and not a fraction or portion.

Would appreciate clarification.

Merci

Re - not being able to use a conjugated verb after le lendemain.

The following sentence is given as an example in a dictionary explanation for "le lendemain".

"Il a été décrété que le lendemain serait un jour férié".

Is this sentence grammatically incorrect because it uses the conjugated verb serait after le lendemain?

Hanoucca celebrations

I have celebrated Hanoucca with my family and friends for many years. We never have a Hanoucca bush! This is a symbol that is related to Christmas and has nothing to do with Hanukah. Please correct this, it is misleading and upsetting for people to think that we decorate a bush.

Thank you for your wonderful website and weekly exercises.

Pronunciation of "petite"When she says "Quand j’étais petite" the last word does not sound like it starts with "p" to me. It sounds like "tetite". I listened several times and I just don't hear the initial "p" sound. Is it just me? What should I be listening for to be sure I hear the "p" sound?

In the phrase ....elle fait une bonne tarte aux fruits et elle invite des amis pour le gouter...shouldn't 'le' be 'la' because it's a pronoun substituting for 'tart' which is feminine?
