Just FYI, the HINT i.e. mon rêve is attached to the wrong audio file. 

Why is it “des lasagnes’ and not “de lasagne”? Presumably I would only take one order of lasagne? 

Or is it that it could be either ( which of course if it could, if I am super hungry) and the more important thing is that I can hear the difference between “des” and “de”, since it is a listening exercise? 

Thanks.

I believe "recommendations" should be "recommandations", can someone please confirm that ? Thanks Paul.

Why s' ouvre? The verb "ouvre" is not a reflexive verb.

 Thank you in advance for taking time to answer.

My question has to do with the use of the hyphen. Am I correct in assuming that when the pronoun comes after the verb a hyphen must be added?

It seems to me that "la confiture de framboise" would be spelled "la confiture de framboises," as jam would be made w/ de nombreuses framboises, not juste l'une framboise. I googled "la confiture de framboise" and both spellings were prevalent, which doesn't help on locking down on accuracy. So which is it?

For vecu, why isn't there a cedille under the "c"? Recu uses a cedille and I thought that CU combinatioin made it a hard c. I don't expect an answer, but at least I tried.

It was just to say that i’ve never seen cotton buds marketed as “les cotons-tiges” in South West France, where I live, but as “les bâtonnets ouatés”
