In the third sentence, the second phrase in English to be translated is given in the exercise as "...the pronunciation is difficult...", without the adverb "very" being used before "difficult" , however the French translation in the exercise & in the final full text is given as "...la prononciation est très difficile..." instead of "...la prononciation est difficile...".
I was interested in this use of "fameuse", does it have a hint of "infamous" here, rather than meaning "famous" ?
