French language Q&A Forum

The text reads “Tant mieux, car je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage”, but there’s no “même” spoken in the audio (Cécile has confirmed this to be the case in the Q&A). 

The text just needs a small correction. 

Why will it not accept "plein de the" instead of "beaucoup"?  Thanks.

Hi, 

I was wondering when you use the adverbs absolument and totalement do they use the rule #5 in the lesson for adjectives with adverbs?

Thanks

This is all too difficult for me .  I need to go to day one, very beginning, very basic

Who would say "Carefree" after someone asks for their receipt?  Is that a Britishism?  Would not "No problem" or "No worries" be a better translation?

I'm confused why the response given is : "nous allons aussi nous inscrire à la gym." Shouldn't it be "nous allons aussi nous inscrirer à la gym" with an infinitive in the same way that the alternative choice is "nous allons aussi nous abonner à la gym"?  

Although this wasn't an advanced exercise, I found it somewhat challenging and learned some new phrases, (such as "casser votre tirelire; au fil des annees; and s'enticher de). 

But, I have some questions:

Why not "a ete etabli..." for "a ete fondu..."?

"Beaucoup d'artistes mondialement connus sont restes..." for " De nombreux artistes de renommees mondiale ont sejourne..."?

"...Ernest Hemingway est devenu enchante par..." for "s'etait entiche de, etc...."?

"et le bar du Ritz porte maintenant son nom" for "et le bar du Ritz porte aujourd'hui son nom"? (which actually translates to "and the Ritz bar carries his name 'today'" or "is 'today' named after him").

And, for "the fairy-tale like hotel, why not, "un hotel qui ressemble a un conte de fees"?

Merci beaucoup pour votre reponse !

Does the sentence 'Je bien sûr nomme...' also work ?
