I've typed in the correct translation but it says its wrong. A tiny bug? How can i continue...?
Ce n'est pas le traduction! C'est les phrases dans française, pas en anglaise!
Do you have the option to "skip" the question? On my laptop, I have that option on the bottom left of my screen.
My recollection of my childhood french lessons is that when "suis" precedes a word that starts with a vowel, we pronounce the second "s" in "suis". But the duolingo french speakers don't do that. Was I taught wrong? Or is there a more complicated rule about this? Merci, Jeannette
No, the liaison - swee zoohn - should be made.
Unless I am very much mistaken, Duolingo uses a database library of words recorded by native speakers. These words are then turned into sentences using TTS - text to speech - technology so often the necessary liaisons are missed.
There isn't a difference between an and a in French. Une is used with feminine words and un is used with masculine
sarah677035, are you British...? In Italian, Spanish, French or other languages there is a difference from "a" used -for example- in "a boy" and it used in "a girl"
(Sorry for my bad English, I'm studying it and I'm in only in 7th grade)
To add to Messikh123's comment, the English indefinite article "an" is only used before words (adjectives, nouns etc) that begin with a vowel. As "girl" begins with a consonant, the article to use in English is "a".
No .. we use "une" for fenimin and "un" for masculin .. as for "a" if it starts with a non vowel letter and "an" for words that start with a vowel un and une means both a and an
How many classes are there in basics 1?!?! It feels like I've been doing it for hours.
Multiple choice error number 51. 'Fille'missed from the sentence and only 'garçon' offered as an answer. This is my third try at completing this set of questions!
Does, I am a girl, not make sence! I wrote that and it said it didnt make sence. Please help me determine if it sounds right
It says to write the answer down in french and when i do it says the answer suppised to be english
No..."une" is pronounced "uun", like "clean", but with a round "ea". "Un" is pronounced "uh", or "uhn" if the next word starts with a vowel sound. [Edit: Hear pronunciation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDxiWarxMnc]
What's is written is type what you hear in French... Not type the English translation of what you hear!
듣기는 진짜 못하겠어요ㅠㅠㅠ 들리지 않아요ㅠㅠㅠ I can't to do listening questionsㅠㅠㅠ I can't hear itㅠㅠㅠ
"Une" signals that the correct answer is "fille". "Un" would mean that the correct answer is "garçon".
For one of the voice questions I didn't even say anything yet and it marked my thing correct.
