I’m doing the Michel Thomas French course and keep getting it wrong when asked to write “Do you want to come with me” in French. Based on how the sentence is structured I write “voulez-vous venir avec moi”. However the correct answer given is "est-ce que vous voulez venir avec moi’.
Can I suggest adding "(eat-ce que) to the end of the question to avoid confusion and inconsistency.
Someone started a course forum thread for this course about two days ago, and the course author (@jdgamble555) responded quickly to her comment.
Thanks will copy the comment over to that thread
I’m sorry to respond here and not in the Spanish Michel thomas forum. but i just cant find it.
i enjoyed the 1-12 classes in the course. And after many times trying to learn Spanish Michel is the only one that could make me stick to it. and this course is the best thing i ever found, and i’m not even an native English speaker. thanks allot.
but i think there are some errors in 13 and possibly above.
Spanish course answer correct
comenzamos we will start (near future) we (will) start
empezamos we will start (near future) we (will) start
Sabían you knew/they knew they knew
saben you know, they know they know
voy a ir a verlo I am going to see it I am going to go see it

va a estar listo pronto it will be ready soon (using ir) it’s going to be ready soon
yo sé que no va a poder hacerlo I know he won’t be able to do it (emphasis on I)
i know that he’s not going to be able to do it

I plan to stay in Spain for a week
pienso que me quedo una semana en España

yo sabía que todo iba a estar listo I knew everything was going to be ready

these things are diferente to the 1-12 classes
tengo que saberlo I have to know (it) i have to know it
por qué no lo sabes why don’t you know (it) (to a friend) why don’t you know (to a friend)
no sabía que I didn’t know (that) I didn’t know that
this is the first time doing the class so there can be more. and i can be mistaking.
also this seems strange to me
