Hi @JoThelan,
I hate to be a pain in the bum at this very busy time but I just thought you might like to know that afin (the 3rd word in Level 5), while displaying a speaker symbol, has no audio.
Cheers, Kim
PS Sorry if this has been brought up before. 
PPS Thanks for recommending this course - I like it a lot.
@ripcurlgirl Thanks Kim, I’ll look into this on Wednesday when I have more time available.
Edit: I’ve never tried to make any changes to the sound before, so this might be an adventure! 
Hi Jo, I just came upon that word again and thought I heard something very, very faintly in the distance. I turned my speakers “up to 11” and could just make out the word. So, the audio is there but it is so unbelievably quiet as to render it inaudible at normal volumes (that being a volume to accommodate both relatively quiet and loud audio).
If I had the speakers turned to this volume, most other audio in the course would knock me out of my chair!!
Cheers again,
Kim
Merci Jo. I don’t know how you keep all those balls in the air!
Hi Jo,
I’ve just encountered the new recording. Il est parfait ! Merci.
Thanks @JoThelan for the previous update and the explantation. Much appreciated! 
Below some new ones and some concerns:
un soutien (level 12)
support
un appui (level 17)
support
célèbre (level 17)
famous, celebrated
famous (level 20)
fameux
conduire (level 4)
to lead, drive, conduct
circuler (level 18)
to drive, circulate
The definitions of the below three words are almost the same, but maybe the logical move would be just to modify the ‘contenter’ word?
plaire (level 9)
to please
contenter (level 11)
to satisfy, please [not “satisfaire”] --> … [not “satisfaire” / “plaire”]
satisfaire (level 8)
to satisfy [not “contenter”]
While there’s some distinction between pourtant/néanmoins and cependant/toutefois, these words are becoming at least for me very confusing when asked to quickly type. What do you think about the below?
pourtant (level 5)
yet, nonetheless, nevertheless, however [not “néanmoins”] --> … [not “néanmoins” / “cependant” / “toutefois”]
néanmoins (level 13)
nevertheless [not “pourtant”] --> … [not “pourtant” / “cependant” / “toutefois”]
cependant (level 4)
however [not “toutefois”] --> … [not “pourtant” / “néanmoins” / “toutefois”]
toutefois (level 8)
however [not “cependant”] --> … [not “pourtant” / “néanmoins” / “cependant”]
Hi @michael_z! I’ve made the following updates. I need to think some more about pourtant/néanmoins/cependant/toutefois. Like you mentioned, there is a distinction, yet I find myself having the same difficulty as you are having. I don’t want people to get the impression that they mean the same thing, so I need to find a solution that indicates that somehow, without being overly wordy. Still trying to figure out how to do that.
un soutien (level 12)
support –> + [not "appui’]
un appui (level 17)
support –> + [not “soutien”]
plaire (level 9)
to please
contenter (level 11)
to satisfy, please [not “satisfaire”] –> + [not “satisfaire” / “plaire”]
satisfaire (level 8)
to satisfy [not “contenter”]
conduire (level 4)
to lead, drive, conduct
circuler (level 18)
to drive, circulate –> + [not " conduire"]
Thanks @JoThelan. Yeah, the pourtant/néanmoins/cependant/toutefois are rather tricky! A new pair below:
une prestation (level 19)
benefit [not “bénéfice”]
un bénéfice (level 20)
benefit, profit [not “profit”] --> … [not “profit” / “prestation”]
Edit
une tentative (level 14)
attempt --> + [not “essai”]
un essai (level 15)
attempt, try, test, essay [literature] --> + [not “tentative”]
Actually the first one is a trio.
une prestation (level 19)
benefit [not “bénéfice”]
un bénéfice (level 20)
benefit, profit [not “profit”] --> + [not “profit” / “prestation”]
un profit (level ?)
profit, benefit [not “bénéfice”] --> [not “bénéfice”/“prestation”]
une tentative (level 14)
attempt --> + [not “essai”]
un essai (level 15)
attempt, try, test, essay [literature] For now, I’m going to leave this definition untouched. Since it already has “essay” in the English definition, it seems that should be enough to clarify that “tentative” is not the correct answer. But if it seems to be a problem in the future, I’ll look into later.
Thanks @JoThelan, great work! And a new portion unfortunately below!
sensible (level 11)
sensitive --> + [not “susceptible”]
susceptible (level 12)
sensitive, touchy --> + [not “sensible”]
@michael_z Aha, so that explains why I got «susceptible» wrong the other day. They’re both in the course. They’re updated now. Shouldn’t cause anymore confusion.
Don’t worry @JoThelan, thanks! Below some new ones:
réfléchir (level 11)
to reflect –> [not “refléter”]
refléter (level 19)
to reflect –> [not “réfléchir”]
They’ve been updated!
Thanks @JoThelan. Another portion!
une inquiétude (level 15)
worry, anxiety [not “souci”] –> [not “souci”/“préoccupation”]
un souci (level 16)
worry, concern [not “inquiétude”] –> + [not “inquiétude”/“préoccupation”]
une préoccupation (level 19)
worry, concern, preoccupation –> + [not “inquiétude”/“souci”]
inquiéter (level 14)
to worry, disturb –> + [not “préoccuper”]
préoccuper (level 20)
to worry, preoccupy –> + [not “inquiéter”]
Excellent, thanks @JoThelan. New ones:
pareil (level 15)
similar, likewise; (peer, equal) –> + [not “semblable” / “similaire” / “analogue”]
semblable (level 20)
similar –> + [not “similaire” / “analogue” / “pareil”]
similaire (level 27)
similar –> + [not “analogue” / “pareil” / “semblable”]

to observe, watch –> + [no “surveiller”]
surveiller (level 13)
to watch, supervise –> + [not “observer”]
vers (level 2)
toward; (verse) –> + [not “envers”]
Not sure if the “(verse”) here is needed in the original description?
envers (level 12)
towards –> + [not “vers”]
empêcher (level 4)
to prevent –> + [not “prévenir”]
prévenir (level 13)
to prevent, warn; (to notify) –> + [not “empêcher”]
accueillir (level 12)
to welcome, greet, accommodate
saluer (level 17)
to greet, salute –> + [not “accueillir”]
The first definition is I think straightforward, but maybe just the second one needs some hint?
réunir (level 9)
to gather, reunite, raise
rejoindre (level 11)
to rejoin, reunite –> + [not “réunir”]
Here reunite makes it rather confusing for the second definition. How do you feel about the first one?
un propos (level 6)
remark –> [not “commentaire”/“remarque”]
un commentaire (level 17)
comment, remark –> [not “propos”/“remarque”]
une remarque (level 21)
remark –> [not “propos”/“commentaire”]
possible (level 2)
possible –> [not “éventuel”]
éventuel (level 21)

No sound.

road, lane, route, track, way –> + [not “route”]
obtenir (level 4)
to get, obtain –> + [not “procurer”]
procurer (level 21)
to get, bring, procure –> + [not "apporter/"amener/“obtenir”]
Plus concerning bring:
apporter (level 4)
to bring –> + [not “amener”/“procurer”]
amener (level 7)
to bring, lead –> + [not “apporter”/“procurer”]
rapporter (level 10)
to bring back, report –> + [not “ramener”]
ramener (level 11)
to bring back, return, take back –> + [not “rapporter”]
réunir (level 9)
to gather, reunite, raise
rassembler (level 17)
to gather together, assemble –> + [not “réunir”]
I think the first one doesn’t need an explanation?
une attaque (level 17)
attack –> + [not “attentat”/“atteinte”/“assaut”]
un attentat (level 19)
attack, assassination attempt –> + [not “attaque”/“atteinte”/“assaut”]

@michael_z Thanks! I will get to these as soon as I can. However, I am moving out of country and returning home in a couple of days, so everything is a bit crazy right now. It might take me a bit to get it done.
