Hi,

Thank you for your response.

Warm regards, 

Rahul

The brain map has a grey tile for Numbers, Time & Date for B1 that doesn't change colour despite completing this and the other B1 lesson under the title Time & Date under B1, and all the other B1 lessons. Is there a missing lesson link?

You say you can never use des autres to express some other things, but when i translated, 'I have other shoes' on google translater it came up as ' j'ai d'autres chaussures.' So i'm very confused.Is Google translater wrong?

This lesson seems to be missing any test questions. There are no questions included at the end of the content and the brain map remains grey for this lesson.

Is it often not called la limonade it wasn’t given as an alternative 

why in the sentence Espérons qu'ils gagnent une autre médaille d'or  gagnent is in present not in future tense?

Why is "de" used in this example:

Noël rappelle toujours de bons souvenirs à ma mère.

Christmas always reminds my mother of good memories.
but not in this example:
Ça rappelle son enfance à mon frère.It reminds my brother of his childhood
Thanks

it is so hard to return to lessons i want to work on. it is so random.  i am in my 70s and reviewing my french for a trip and its like being in a storm. i cant tie down what i need to work on. 

Emma says "je crains que ce ne soit un peu trop bruyant pour moi". I understand that this is an example of the 'ne explétif', where the 'ne' does not mean 'not', but is a more 'old-fashioned' form of expression, used with phrases like je crains que, avant que, à moins que, etc. It was explained to me that it is optional in modern French, and not commonly used.  In which case, would it be likely that Emma would use it in this context?  Or is it there just to provide an example of this concept?  (i.e. should we use it or can we safely ignore it when speaking?)
