pourquoi il y a 'en' dans la phrase 'je voudrais en faire une journée mémorable'.

In the sentence , doesn't sound like it starts with a . I listen to that over and over again and I just couldn't hear . Does anyone else get that problem?

Hi Kwiziq, I think there is a bug with one of the questions. The question 'How would you say "This witch smells very bad!" ?' keeps showing that I chose the same wrong answer, even though I am not choosing that response. This has happened like 5 times in a row and has reduced my lesson score!

The response it keeps showing as chosen -> Cette sorcière sent très mauvais. 

The one I actually chose -> Cette sorcière sent très mal

La traduction de " students were welcomed by..." n' est-elle pas "furent accueillis" au lieu de "ont été accueillis" ?

S'est occupée is passé composé.  This is a single action completed in the past.  But the text describes an action over the years.  Why not s'occupait?

Once I’ve used ‘demi ’ when ‘moitié’ was the right answer and once I used ‘moitié’ when ‘demi’ was the right answer. The explanations given for appropriate usage still aren’t doing it for me. 

why is it feminine in this case?

Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:

I love the twist at the end, I thought she was the student ha ha ha ;)
