I believe there is an issue with the recording on the last sentence, I can report it to support if you like but thought I would post it here first. The sentence is Mes progrès sont encourageants !

The issue is around the sont word. I should have just thought about what made sense instead of just what I could hear, but it just threw me and I wouldn't wnat it to affect other beginners.

sorry im totally lost where each one should be used, and ieven in questions verb is after it when in lesson says cant be. Is there a really simply dummys guide please, i

This lesson is on the A2 listening practice list but is shown as a B2 level exercise. Either it's mislabeled or it's in the wrong place. The 5th lesson below this one (Dispute entre frère et sœur) has no level designation in the title, and the 2nd lesson under that one (En gardant mes neveux) is labeled as a B1 level exercise.

I also checked the A1 listening practice list and there are several lessons on that list that have no level designation.

This seems more like a content issue than a Help Desk problem.

In “en espérant que je ne me rende pas compte de son absence.”

We have “rendre” in the subjunctive as “rende”. This has been triggered by “espérer que”. But I thought that an affirmative use of “espérer que” would use the Indicative as opposed to the Subjunctive. I don’t know what additional implication the use of the gerund has though…

With regard to “avec nos lèvres gercées, notre chair de poule constante et nos nez écarlates !”

As people have one nose each, should this be “… et notre nez écarlate !”?
