    I started Fluenz German a few weeks ago. Many years ago I did all 5 levels of Fluenz Spanish, and loved it. I just completed German Lesson 18, and Sonia said "go to the commons and tell us your favorite part", so here I am. It is definitely fun, but a bit more challenging than I remember Spanish, because of the cases and genders. The instruction and program is great. My favorite part is the listening comprehension parts, where you have to type in the sentences that you've heard.

    Anybody else working through German right now? I would be also interested in recommendations for supplementing Fluenz as well. Also, I am doing 1 lesson per day, but I really have 2 or more hours per day that I can spend on this, so I'm curious if doing two lessons is a good idea, or if I should simply study the material I've learned more and keep at that pace.

    Hi, I just checked the exercise you mentioned and you're perfectly right, part of the answer is missing for each line of this exercise, so we'll make sure to fix them asap and restore the complete phrases. Very sorry for this bug, and thanks a lot for reporting. Enjoy the rest of Portuguese 3!!

    After finishing the course and going back through everything again I can see it was me not having my ears tuned in to the subtle tones yet that was the problem, her delivery. It was totally authentic as it should be.

    That’s a great question — and it’s wonderful to see you paying such close attention to these small but important distinctions!

    You’re right that quelque chose and autre chose can sound similar, but they’re used in slightly different contexts:

    quelque chose means something or anything.

    Example: Vous voulez boire quelque chose ? → “Would you like to drink something?”
    This is used when offering or asking if someone wants anything at all.

    autre chose means something else.

    Example: Autre chose ? → “Anything else?”
    This is used when you’ve already mentioned or ordered something, and you’re asking if the person wants something in addition.

    So in your examples:

    The waiter saying “Autre chose ?” comes after you’ve already ordered something.

    The phrase “Vous voulez boire quelque chose ?” is a general offer, not a follow-up.

    That’s why they’re not interchangeable — quelque chose introduces something new, while autre chose refers to an additional thing.

    Hope this clears it up! You’re doing great — it’s details like this that make a big difference as you move forward in Level 2.

    Best regards,

    In English, the difference comes down to verb tense and what you want to express:

    “Aquí le envío las respuestas” means “Here I am sending you the answers.” It’s in the present tense, so it’s the right choice when you’re attaching or including the answers right now in the message.

    “Aquí le envié las respuestas” means “Here I sent you the answers.” It’s in the past tense, so it’s used when you already sent the answers before and you’re just pointing it out.

    If you’re sending the answers in the same email/message, you should use “Aquí le envío las respuestas.” If you’re referring to an action already completed earlier, then “Aquí le envié las respuestas.” is correct.
