Hi,

Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself  59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?

Hello,

I have a tiny question. If I want to say "I thought about her", should I use:

a) Je lui ai pensée

b) J'ai pensé à lui

c) J'ai pensé à elle

Because I notice that for verb + de, we can use "penser d'elle" (think of her), so for the case verb + à, can we use à + pronouns as well (option b,c)? Can we use "elle" instead of "lui" for such case? Finally, can we use option b) instead of a)?

Je te le dirai quand tu auras promis de te taire. Where did the pronoun le come from?

Ça fait 156e was said too quickly.

Are there any Listening Exercises to practice numbers?

I'm sorry but it's very hard to follow the explanations.

In this lesson, you basically mean:

des autres = the other(s) - specific ones, whenever "de" would be in front

d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic

Hi, in “d'où l'on pouvait admirer la vallée du Rouvres en contrebas,” is the “l’” in “l’on” purely for euphonics (i.e. it carries no meaning)?

I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?
