Good morning. Is there a trick to hearing the accents over vowels, or do you just have to know where they are in every word? A lot of times I can distinguish the pronunciation of é vs. è, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between e and é, for example. In the text, there's the sentence "" where I can hear é in représentation and théâtrales, but the e in spectacles sounds the same as é in the other two words and doesn't have an accent. Is this something that just comes with a lot of practice? Or do you just sort of need to know the words in advance? 

I had to complete the sentence "Nous ___ notre dernier concert" (We remember our last concert).

I filled in "nous souvenont de". It was however marked as incorrect, and the correct answer was "nous rappelons de".

I thought you could use both and my answer was regarded "better" (according to the lesson: "Se souvenir de is the slightly more sophisticated option to say you remember.")

Why is there no article after "amateur de" and before "histoire"? Is it just a fixed phrase?

How to make negative passé composé  sentences 

The last time, 13h15, doesn't seem to fit, unless it is the next day.  Am I missing something? 

Hello,

The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used. 

In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".

Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?

The word clore jumped out at me as well. Very much enjoyed reading and listening to this exercise.

Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
