Rapidement vs vite So, rapidement and vite are synonymous; however when I typed in vite for Henri runs quickly, it was marked as incorrect. Because they are synonymous, I feel that «vite» should be included as a correct response as well as rapidement.

I have a questionAt the beginning of this lesson you said "ATTENTION: it never means to pass (succeed) an exam." But in the kwizzes youre marking it as correct in "Il a passé son examen". I took a screen shot (http://i.imgur.com/gDxj3dx.png). By any chance do you mean He passed his exam (e.g. to the teacher, to the person infront of him)? Its kind of confusing when youre using the same word in different contexts.

In English, we say, “l feel hot, not I’m hot”. When we say, I’m hot, it means I’m sexy. Right?

Personne vs. Aucun(e) - please explainWhat is the difference between Aucun(e) and Personne. For example, in the test, why do you translate "Nobody spoke" with "Personne n'a parle" but consider incorrect "Aucun n'a parle"?

Kwiziq app?How are things going with the Kwiziq app? I know you're busy with implementing Spanish right now, but an app could be useful. When swapped out by the OS, it could retain the user-entered text instead of discarding them like phone-browsers often do when you don't answer all the questions in one go. I make many mistakes in the writing challenges and need to look at other pages and apps to find out why. When I come back to continue, the page reloads and I have to start over.

un immeuble vs un bâtiment

Actually the good old fashioned dictionary is quite specific about the use of these words, and 'un immeuble' is most definitely 'a block of flats' and funnily enough not 'a block of apartments', but there again, it is a proper English (English) - French dictionary. Block of apartments - how pan loafy is that (translation-upper crust)

Why we say in French, “cette école “. Why it is not “cet école”? Because you école start with a vowel.
