I don't understand this
French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"
if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"
According to Wordreference, they recommend the word, ombrelle, for the umbrellas found in cocktails. Should this word be accepted?
Pourquoi DE ici et pas ‘des’, ‘du’ et ‘des’?
I suspect the prepositions in this lesson don’t mean the same in US and British English.
As a Brit, I wouldn’t say either stop by or pop by somewhere. Pass by and go past mean the same as each other and don’t imply you stopped or went inside: for that, I’d use "go", "pop" or "drop" "into" or "in to" or another construction like "I went to see Laurent at his house".
So I’m not clear if "Elle est passée chez Laurent" means she went in to see him or went past his house without stopping?
(Setting aside the usage of "place", as in "Laurent’s place")
No matter what I do, which speaker/earphones I use, or how many times I switch the playback on my system the sound file examples SIMPLY WILL NOT PLAY. I may as well be reading a textbook and practicing mispronunciation. If I use ANY other site, including the Lawless Spanish site, ALL sound clips play with NO issues whatsoever. I bought this system with a two-year subscription. It has been a useless and costly mistake without being able to actually hear how to correctly pronounce anything. Does anyone else have this problem?
Just wanna double check, in the sentance "J'admire leurs belles créations" there is actually no way of hearing if it's plural or singular? Or am i suppose to understand that it was suppose to be plural somehow?
Je suis un peu perdu. Pourquoi la texte utilise 'souhaitez' et pas 'souhaiteriez'? J'ai vu que cette texte traduire comme 'What time would you like this call?'
Hello everyone :)
Just a small question, why do you use "faire une escale?" instead of "avoir une escale"?
because it's not "make the stopover".
Thank you in advance for your advices and responses.
Way too fast to understand!
