Why do we not capitalize the names of places? Are there any instances where we will capitalize a letter?

Hello, is there a way to mark exercises in some way so you could query the marked list, just like we can do with Notebooks for lessons?  I have some dictees and writing exercises to which I want to return, but I don't know how to do that other than writing the names down.  If not, it would be a really nice feature to add.

I am sorry to raise this, but I am afraid that I found the pronunciation of this phrase very difficult.

Even having seen the answer, I still could not reconcile the two.   "le temps" I managed to translate initially when hearing it as "longtemps", but seeing the correct answer and re-running the sound clip again and again, the closest I could get was "l'eau temps" and certainly not "le temps".

I recognize that there are many different ways of pronouncing things, but I do feel that in a dictation the diction should be clear.

I am struggling to work out what the "en" refers to. I presume it is "of something", but can't work out what (or where the "of" comes from) - the sentence seems to work equally well without it.

"N'importe quoi" is a colloquial, it means nonsense or bs! Not the right or natural way of saying whatever. This is incorrect. The correct way to say is "Peu importe".

How do you express walking fast for exercise, pas comme une promenade.
