French language Q&A Forum

In the 2 question quiz given at the end of the lesson a question asks "what does Qu'est-ce que c'est mean?" the literal translation is 'What is it that it is' which is given in the lesson. 

It should be more clear on what the question is asking for, the meaning or the translation.

In a situation where we are deciding whether to use le français or simply français with the verb parler, would one or the other be more appropriate in certain settings, or are they both equally valid? I am curious if there are any nuanced differences between the two.

What is the difference between mal and malade? It looks like aller is used for mal and être for malade, but what's the difference. There's also "j'ai mal" using avoir, (not in this lesson). But given the context in comparison to this lesson, I'm guessing j'ai mal is used to say specifically where it hurts, but I'm not understanding the other two.

Memories are so precious and pure. Childhood memories are special for everyone. I have a lot of fond memories from my childhood and I love looking back on the good times. Even though, having grown up as a child, I had a fairly uneventful life. My parents were never really home. So I could basically do whatever I wanted to. Someone came to prepare the food. I usually came back at 4:30 p.m. and had lunch afterwards. I loved watching cartoons so much that I would stay up late at night just to watch cartoons. I always tried to study hard for my parents. My mom came back on weekends and my dad came once a month. I vividly remember going to dinner with my parents every time my dad came home. It was a time of celebration for all of us when a family got together and we were just happy in our own bubble. I will always cherish my childhood memories, forever.
