That's huge gc!

But only four little corrections:
13. .... the verb balader (a synonym for to dance).
You made a mistake that I do myself sometimes, maybe because of the English word "ballad". "Balader" has only one "l". Also, "se balader" is a synonym for "se promener" (to walk around) and not for "danser".
27. .... (la salade de fruits)
47. .... qui téléphone
49. .... éduquée

That was minor and other than that, it's excellent

P.S. Maybe it's too huge a lesson. You're going to discourage your students. Make your lessons a bit shorter!

[garçoncanadien]

finally, honestly, tell me all comments No need to be polite because I really want to help anybody who wants to learn French.

[Cooney]

Well, speaking for myself, all assistance is always welcome! It has been way too long since I've done basic lessons, and while I have a grasp of a lot of things beginners don't, I've forgotten some very essential rules.
