Maybe it's regional, but there seem to be a lot of phrases with Ia on Duolingo. An Indonesian friend says that this could cause confusion with iya.

Re: Are French People Rude Myth | Is It true?
Like anywhere else, it varies. If you are American and expect the wait staff at a good restaurant to dote on you expecting a tip, prepare to be disappointed., and expect some frank exchanges. In my experience, Paris is probably the worst, but they have come a long way in the last 40 years.

Sirop de soude
I am trying to remember the general French term that means a fruit syrup diluted with sparkling water. A very long time ago, I used to order this from cafés in Paris. My favourite was grenadine soda. Maybe it’s no longer called this.
This would have been in the 1970s.

Re: Il s'avère que...
I don't want to contradict L'académie française, but I can understand that Covid used as an implied adjective for virus (Le virus Covid) might appear to be masculine.

Il fait froid de canard
It's freezing (That will be me at CDG after coming from Australia in a couple of weeks from now)
In Scotland and Ireland they say "It's baltic!"

It's never good to generalise, but "generally", yes. It's Scots by the way.

Re: Il pleut comme une vache qui pisse
J'aime cette expression "Il tombe de hallebardes". Une hallebarde était une sorte de lance longue et pointue.
En Australie nous disons parfois "It's pissing down", mais ce n'est pas bien vu en bonne compagnie

Re: Discrepancy between iPad and PC
Thanks for the explanation. I'm still trying to work out the new flow format, but either way as long as I get to practice my languages, I have no real problem.

Re: You'll have a nice hot tea.
“Entrez, entrez. Tu auras déjà dîné”. Il veut dire que c’est une expression écossaise. En fait les écossais sont vraiment amicaux. Je crois que c’est une blague d’origine sud de la frontière Un wee bit drôle.

Re: How flexible is adjective-noun word order in French?
This is something that surprised me too. Bon can actually be used as an adverb in some rare situations, particularly after the verbs faire and sentir. In this case Blanche is making the eggs very well.

He entered while we were outside.
Why is this translation wrong? He entered at a single point in time. I think either pendant que or lorsque could be used. Would a native speaker disagree?
Il est entré lorsque nous étions dehors
