He had more experience than I did'He had more experience than I did'is translated as ' Il avait plus d'experience que moi' I think that should be a translation of ' He had more experience than me'. Whereas 'Il avait plus d'experience que j'avais' which may not be grammatical or good french (is it? )but does not convert 'than I did', to 'than me'. This kind of approximation in translation whilst necessary in real life is not helpful in the learning process as we are having to guess at what you want .

Avoir (conditional) dire- to look like

"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this?

What is Quiès ?

Hi - I am not sure if this is a typo? I have never seen this word - Quiès 

 Je suis d'accord, et je prendrai des boules Quiès juste au cas où.

What does it mean?

Is there something wrong with the sync?

Why is it capitalised?

tu m'a fait/tu m'a donné

Why is "que tu m'as fait." translated as "you gave me" - 

Je me souviens du premier cadeau que tu m'as fait. / que tu m'a donné?

I remember the first gift you gave me.

Checking the tense/mood.

For "I won't write here all that I've done wrong", the answer uses the conditional "je n'écrirais pas ..." . Shouldn't we use the future tense in this sentence (i.e. "je n'écrirai pas ...")  ? Thanks.
