I was just wondering if there is much difference between 'tant de' and 'tellement de'?  

The example in the passage is 'à tant de coups de fil'.  I answered 'à tellement de coups de fil'.  Is there a slightly different meaning or is there a rule?

Hello,

My listening is crappy, as I simply cannot understand what is being said even when I know some words.... Pls any tips on how to improve my comprehension in listening? 

I thought son was the answer, but didn’t see it in the box!

Not sure if question was clearly expressed!

When do we use marron or brun for the color brown? 

Le mot est magnifique, bien sûr.

Bonjour à tous, 

I've come access this sentence somewhere using "être on train de" in Conditionnel passé tense:

I would have been skying in the Alps if I hadn’t broken my leg.

Je serais en train de skier dans les Alpes si je ne m’étais pas cassé la

jambe.

I think we must use avoir (in Conditionnel présent) + être (in past participle) as follow:

J'aurais été en train de skier....

Could you explain which one is correct?

Merci beaucoup d'avance.

I can hardly hear the "ne" in this sentence.

Is the "ne" sound sometimes dropped in real spoken French?
