Merci et deux comments

Bonjour et merci pour ce beaux exercise. Deux petits comments: En anglais vous avez ecrit "choose", qui et le present; vous voulez surement "chose", qui et le passe simple. :) Et une librarie et une bibliotheque ne sont pas la meme chose, oui? Merci ! Pardon le manque des accents.

Music vocabulary : Additional expressions

In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?

Thanks for enlightening the rest of the world

Thanks so much for letting us know about the Aubracs. Most Americans no nothing about them. Their courage and skill in working for the Resistance is inspiring. On our Veterans Day, it is yet another story of the people who sacrificed much to overcome tyranny. It is much appreciated!

pont seems to be masculine and feminine in same sentence

In the sentence "Bien qu'il ne reste qu'une petite partie du pont aujourd'hui, elle offre encore une vue spectaculaire sur le Rhône et la ville." it seems le pont is masculine but in the second clause is is referred to as elle. Should this be il or am I missing something?

Public notebooks

Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?

Thanks, Jeramy

Ses vidéos sont absolument fascinantes

Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on utilise l'imparfait pour la premiere partie de cette phrase mais on utilise le passe compose pour le deuxieme partie?

Since both parts of the sentence refer to a feeling/opinion, shouldn't both parts be conjugated using the imperfect past tense?

"Je ne voulais pas choisir pour elle, mais j'ai été soulagé"

Thanks in advance,

John
