Paul F.C1Kwiziq Q&A super contributor
pronunciation question

I agree with the Kwiziq team members and some others that the words all sound clear, with my connection anyway. After I have completed the exercise and re-listened to the whole passage it magically becomes very clear. My only query is the word "honnêteté" where, despite numerous listens, I can't hear all the syllables, and I was wondering whether it is usually pronounced as spelled "honnêteté", or in common usage is simply pronounced "honnêté"

Chaque samedi vs le samedi pour dire: every Saturday.

Bonjour,  dans une leçon controverse, il'y avait la question de "touts les vendredis" ou "le vendredi" pour aller en ville.  Selon la leçon, la façon correcte pour exprimer : Paul takes the train every Friday =  Paul prend le metro le vendredi.  Dans cette exercise, vous constatez que Ma soeur va nager le samedi est faux pour dire "every Saturday.  

Quelle response est bonne ou est-ce que quelque chose ou régle m'echape?

Merci,

Diane

Spelling/grammar correction

Just an English correction - in "Anne never play basketball"  it should be plays or played.

Use of "à" to mean "with"I don't understand the use of "à" in the phrase "une grande église romane à clocher carré" to mean a church with a clock tower. This does not seem like "une tasse à thé" or "une machine à laver." Why not "une église avec un clocher carré"?

Attention as to when to use se faire

In the explanation of when to se faire vice faire, I think the following statement would have helped me more:

If the thing that is being done to or for is the subject of the verb ...

les chiffres

Il me semble un peu injuste de ne pas offrir les chiffres écrits en mots comme option.
