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.

le français vs. français

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.

Durant vs. Pendant?

I don't understand what the difference between durant and pendant are. The lesson puts them together and doesn't say if there is a difference.

This one was confusing because in the placement quiz they ask you to translate "I am hungry", but then mark it wrong when you select "Je suis...". Then they say the correct translation is "J'ai faim". This is problematic because "J'ai faim" literally means "I have hunger". They need to be accurate with the literal translations in these cases because that's what clues you in to how you should word the phrase.

Is "Il va leur téléphoner." the same as " Il va téléphoner à eux."?

In other words, can a sentence written with indirect object pronouns be replaced by one with stress pronouns?

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.

lent as adverbThis lesson says -ent adjectives become -emment adverbs. However a previous lesson said lent becomes lentement as adverb. Are both spelling forms accepted?

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.
