Why does he switch from je to on?  There is no hint, up to that point, that he will be going with others.

Bonjour. Don’t know if links are OK, but on this page it says that l’automne is less frequent than l’été or l’hiver. Is this true or is l’automne just as common? See point 3 at this link.

How would one say ‘This week, I work from Tuesday to Thursday?’ (an exception). Would this be any different from how you would say that in general ‘I work from Tuesdays to Thursdays’? Thanks

Speaking to friends, would it not be correct to say: 'Dépêche-toi', rather than 'Dépêchez-vous'?

I know there are lots of exceptions in French! Is there one hiding behind the breaking of the symmetry of taking off two letters and adding one when forming participles (-er > -é, -ir > -i, but -dre > -du, rather than the simpler -re > -u) ?

Maintenant or désormais? Also I keep making a mistake with prepositions please let me know I put “couvert de la sueur”.

One line has an answer of “C'est l'un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”

and then also of “C'est un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”

But the audio is “c’est l’un”, not “c’est un”, so I guess the second answer shouldn’t appear as an option, even if it’s a grammatically correct alternative. 

Not a big issue, but I thought I’d mention it.

If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

Why is tu t-appelles Gary incorrect please ? 🤔

this dictée made me smile.  It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)
