Donc in the sentense

Bonjour!

Could you please explain that sentense: c'est la preuve que nous sommes donc tout autre que les spotifs? I don't understand when we can use 'donc' in the sentense.

Merci!

privilégies/privilégiésHi, the top two answers in one section are “Et c'est le premier octobre 1967 qu'environ 1.500 ménages français privilégies” and “Et c'est le 1er octobre 1967 qu'environ 1.500 ménages français privilégies”. All the rest of the answers use “privilégiés”. I don’t recognise the use of the former “privilégies”, whereas the latter “privilégiés” look like a standard adjective with masculine plural agreement. Could someone explain please? Should be “privilégiés”

Immersion in France

Does anyone have any recommendations of how to get a full on immersive french experience in France? I am trying to get ready for DALF C1 exam and want to improve fluency quickly. I am looking for 2–3 weeks in France ideally with 3-4hours of structured learning. Ideally staying with someone who speaks only french. Institute Francais seems to have something but it is very expensive and probably too intense.

AM and/or PM

On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.

Thank you!
