For “competition”  I used the word concours instead of compétition; is there any problem with that?

Hello, I am a little bit confused on the use of à and the pronouns (me, te, nous, vous). Why is it “je tiens à toi” and not “je te tiens” (I am trying to say I care about you). thank you. 

- Is s'il vous plaît used with veuillez not redundant?  (I wrote Veuillez vous asseoir and the "correct" response was given back to me as Veuillez vous asseoir, s'il vous plaît.)

- The text uses "les médicaments" rather than the singular; would that always be the case or is that just an interpretation of the English sentence?  I.e., it could either be a mass noun or a single, specific drug.  

The French would never use the verb Desservir to mean to clear (the table).

Instead, they would use Débarrasser, as in « Débarrasse la table, s’il te plaît. »

Salut,

Maybe it's only me, but I hear this as "Kay" est-ce qui faut faire . Is this correct? I thought it was "Keh" est-ce...

Merci!

I am enjoying these exercises.  The length of the passages is just right for me.  My understanding of spoken French is about level A2 ( after I have listened once or twice)  though my reading level is B1/B2.   however, the site takes some study to navigate For instance how to move from one dictation to the next is not clear.

Its a cute little exercise but with it being a beginner exercise .. .  Focusing on proper pronunciation should supersede show.  The fully little voice frankly mispronounces a few words that context makes one able to figure it out but at this level, its hard enough just getting the words much less sorting through a strange (though cute) little acting voice.  

Where does it go in a sentence with a compound verb when one is reflexive? Je vaism’en passer de pain????
