        Some times with and sometimes without le in these lessons. It is inconsistent

          For this specific example, please note that both constructions are valid and with verb "parler". However, with "étudier", you must use "le"

                study = étudier

                learn = apprendre

                  Why was not "Je veux étudier français" accepted? I've read that the definite article can be used upon preference.
