J'habite en Californie et ma banque est à Tahiti. Donc, je dois faire les opérations bancaire enligne. C'est difficile parce que je ne comprends pas le vocabulaire bancaire de base en français. Où puis-je trouver le vocabulaire bancaire en français ?
In your recordings I sometimes hear the liaison of the t to the à and sometimes I do not. Should there be a pronunciation of the t onto the à?
After all, if I'm going to learn French I need to pronounce it properly
J'ai choisi de faire .... qui combine langue, littérature et civilisation étrangères, Why do the three subject nouns not include a definite article ?
Please: could someone please explain why the "de" is necessary in the following sentence:
"Il avait trop bu la veille de l'accident. "
I don't understand the need for the "de" following "la veille."
Thanks in advance!

Three questions:
1. “quand ça arrivera” – would “quand ça se passera” be acceptable?
2. “la grande ville où nous habitons” – would "la grande ville où on habite” be acceptable?
3. “intelligemment” – would “habilement” be acceptable here?
"...vous pourrez programmer votre combinaison personnelle quand vous arriverez ici." (recommended answer)
"...vous pourrez programmer votre combinaison personnelle quand vous serez arrivés ici." (marked incorrect)
While I do realize that the construction is covered at a higher level than this writing exercise, I was curious if the second sentence is grammatically or situationally incorrect? Or maybe just not preferred?
Merci!
To make the distinction clearer between the 1st and 2nd examples at the start of this lesson, instead of the translation, 'I don't care about the other options' you may wish to add 'THE other'
I am not sure if this is perhaps different with American English but as someone from the UK this sounds like Anne and Antoine are in the process of going somewhere to walk their dog e.g. in their car driving to a forest. It does not imply that they are in the process of actually walking their dog. I agree that there is a subtlety specifically with the question which is that the phrase includes "with their dog" but the "are going for" implies that they are not actually yet walking their dog but intend to go for a walk with their dog. For instance if I were to say "I am going shopping to buy some food" it means that I am not actually in the process of doing the shopping. Can you please clarify if "se promènent" is the actual current act of doing something or describing the intention to do the act?

I have Dell XPS 12, with Windows 10 21H2.
Each time I try to generate an accented character in KwizIQ, I end up with 14 characters. So, as soon as the accented character is presented, I watch 13 other identical but non-accented characters marching across the screen.
I tried several mice. Each mouse produces the same pattern.
My touchpad is always off.
Please advise.
Thanks
