I think there may be a problem on your end here with the technology. It has been very difficult to advance to the next sentence in the dictation, as it seems the system is "stuck." Please look into this matter. Thank you.

"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent. Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas? Merci.
Would "un petit mot" work as a translation here? I feel like I've come across this much more often than "note", or maybe there's some nuance I'm missing?
Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.
Are there any patterns to looks for in the verbs that are conjugated with è VS. the verbs conjugated with the (ll/tt) rule? If not, are there any tricks to memorize these select exceptions from the (ll/tt) rule?
I can't seem to get these two lessons down because I have no rule for distinguishing between the verbs which have distinct conjugations.
Hi, the workout provided these alternative answers: -
“Quel bonhomme de neige magnifique les enfants !”
“Quel magnifique bonhomme de neige les enfants !”
In this case it's OK to place 'magnifique' either before or after the noun.
Is there a rule that states when some adjectives can be placed either before or after the noun?
Thank you
Each of these expressions are translated using 'du'. In English, both are possessive. In the first case, we are talking about a place, so I can rationalize the use of 'du' instead of 'de'. In the second case, I have more of a problem. It seems like a simple use of the possessive which I think would call for 'de' instead of 'du'. Can I get some guidance here? Thanks.
