What is the status of new languages? I am learning what you have done with French and want to do Italian next!
I agree that it might have been helpful to have "enfiler" included in the vocabulary list. However, even though I wasn't familiar with it, I could write it out listening and sounding it out. I then looked it up in the dictionary. It was fun to learn a new word this way, and actually I think I will be more likely to remember it than if it had been given to me ahead of time.
My question is simply why "croiser" was used instead of "se croiser" and when is it appropriate to use each form of this verb. Some examples would be useful.
Merci !
Why didnt we say : On ne doit pas parle la bouch pleine
instead of On ne doit pas parler la bouch pleine
since it is ER ending verb is that the right way ?
Salut! Is it incorrect to say ils font aussi instead of ils font également? The alternate option was ils fabriquent aussi, but font aussi was marked incorrect. Wondering if there is a reason for that or is if acceptable?
How does one write the sign for euro in this exercise ?
Merci.

Thanks for trying to help Chris but I'm afraid it still doesn't clarify it. You said that it was asking for the present subjunctive in your 1st answer but in your second answer you say "The PAST subjunctive is used here to express that between" actions " 1) and 2) there is no temporal overlap. "
Perhaps if I ask it a different way
The English version is "Before I started to learn french". 'Started" is in the past tense, therefore shouldn't I translate it into the past subjunctive ie "avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le Français"
Thanks
