je pense que c'est Costard et pas costar. 

Thank you, Cécile. I must have overlooked that in the alternative possibilities! Évidemment is one of my favorite words! Not sure why!

Salut a tous.

Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont"  ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.

Merci Aurelie. This was a really fun and uplifting song to listen to. Great listening practice. You are right - it is a bit fast, but I was able to follow along while reading the lyrics. Actually, the first two lines were the hardest to understand - I'm not even sure what it means in English to 'redden the tea in Amman's souks'!

Loved watching everyone draw their colorful images, too.

What does the translation of the verb lofer (to luff) mean? I've never heard this word before thanks 

Les deux armées ________ longuement.

The two armies look at each other for a long time.

"se regardent" was marked as the answer and "se regardent pendant" as wrong. IK don't understand why both are not acceptable.

Isn't 'une boîte' a nightclub?  Surely it would make more sense for Elsa to be leaving a nightclub than a box?

For the English "He put his hands in his pockets." I wrote "Il met les mains dans ses poches." however, it was corrected to "Il met les mains dans les poches.".

This doesn't seem correct to me however I cannot find the example again in the exercises. 

Would anybody be able to advise?
