In English there is a strong feeling to want to say “the period”. Below, the definite article is missing, so it’s just “période”. Is this just the way it is in French?
“se levait et se couchait en même temps que le Soleil du vingt-deux juillet au vingt-trois août, période pendant laquelle apparaissaient les fortes chaleurs.”
... s'il vous plait.
The sentence from Aug 1 RFI. Why the pronoun Y? What is it replacing, since I don't see an "a + verb" or a place that is normally replaced.
La tension monte entre les États-Unis et la Chine. La numéro 3 de l'État américain pourrait se rendre à Taïwan, mais Pékin ne reconnait pas l'indépendance de cet État et y voit une provocation.The commentary is simply too fast. May I suggest that you have a slower speed, in addition to the present one. Duolingo does this, and I find I need to break down the words -- then, I can play the faster speed, as I know conversations aren't done in a slow speed. But, as of now, the words simply run together and I can't discern individual words.

I can't seem to differentiate these two. Please make me understand.
Sharing an observation (from KiwizIQ quiz answer): ‘faire du hockey’, not ‘faire de l’hockey’ so an exception to the silent ‘h’ rule. I accept it (it sounds better; perhaps ‘hockey’ being a foreign word is relevant?).
