  • Not able to pick up lesson where I left off and microphone not recording
    Fluenz User SupportF Fluenz User Support

    Hi @cherilynn
    Regarding your first question :
    To complete your unfinished workouts, go to the Sessions Menu, where all lessons are displayed.
    Look for the percentage next to each lesson to see your progress.
    Hover over the percentage to see the parts you haven't completed. For example:

    Screen Shot 2025-05-05 at 12.35.59 PM.png

    Screen Shot 2025-05-05 at 12.37.15 PM.png

    Click on the percentage to see the parts you haven't completed. A dialog window will appear. From there, click on the items in the list to go directly to the sections you haven't finished.

    Chrome:
    Mac: Press Command (⌘) + Shift + R.
    Windows: Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R.

  • German Level 4 - Lesson 18 - Question on DIR OBJ and TIME Position
    Fluenz User SupportF Fluenz User Support

    Hi @allen10086
    Great question! You're absolutely right that eins functions as a direct object pronoun here, and German word order rules can be tricky.
    In general, German follows the TeKaMoLo (Temporal - Kausal - Modal - Lokal) structure for adverbial phrases, but pronouns tend to take precedence. When you have a direct object pronoun (eins), it typically comes before time expressions like morgen. This is why "Du musst morgen eins kaufen" is correct rather than "Du musst eins morgen kaufen".

    This is a special case where the presence of a pronoun slightly overrides the usual time-first rule. Keep up the great work, and let us know if you have any other questions!


  • Missing tenses?
    Fluenz User SupportF Fluenz User Support

    Hi @vssierpi Great question! The course is designed to prioritize the most commonly used structures in everyday Spanish, which is why you've seen ir a + infinitive for the future—this is actually the most common way people express the future in spoken Spanish. While the simple future tense (futuro simple) does exist, it's often used more in formal writing or for emphasis.

    The subjunctive and imperative moods are definitely important, but they tend to be introduced later because they can be complex and are used in specific contexts. Many language programs take this approach to ensure learners build confidence with foundational structures before diving into more advanced grammar.

    It's great to hear that you and your wife are progressing so well! Let us know if you have any other questions.


  • Jantar
    Fluenz User SupportF Fluenz User Support

    Hi @tomasese Good question!
    In Portuguese, jantar can be both a noun (meaning "dinner") and a verb (meaning "to have dinner"). While comer is the general verb for "to eat," jantar specifically refers to eating dinner. So in this case, it's not a mistake—it’s just a more specific way to say "to eat" in the context of dinner. Hope that helps!

  • Object position
    Fluenz User SupportF Fluenz User Support

    Thank you for your question!

    The difference here lies in the correct structure for expressing this idea in French, as well as how certain verbs (like demander) interact with objects. Let me explain:

    Why "J'ai demandé mes parents pour un livre" is Incorrect

    1. Verb Usage with Direct and Indirect Objects:
      In French, the verb demander (to ask) requires a direct object (the thing being asked for) and an indirect object (the person being asked). The correct structure is:

      demander [something] à [someone]

      • Example:
        • J'ai demandé un livre à mes parents. = "I asked my parents for a book."

      In your first attempt, "mes parents" was treated as the direct object, but this isn’t how demander works. Instead, the thing you are asking for (e.g., "un livre") should be the direct object, and the person you are asking (e.g., "mes parents") is the indirect object introduced by à.


    Why "à" and Not "pour"?

    • "À" is used because the French construction "demander à quelqu'un" directly means "to ask someone." It introduces the person receiving the request.

    • "Pour" would mean "for," which suggests you're asking on behalf of someone or for their benefit—not directly addressing them with the request.

      • Example:
        • Je demande un livre pour toi. = "I am asking for a book for you."

    Correct Sentence:

    J'ai demandé un livre à mes parents.

    • un livre = direct object (the thing you asked for)
    • à mes parents = indirect object (the people you asked)

    I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have more questions.
