Still no indirect speech (voix indirecte)It's great that I am taught the conjugation of the verb "moudre" and "coudre", yet there's still no lesson on reported/indirect speech. In my opinion that is a big omission since that one comes up much more frequently in all kinds of situations than I will ever use the verb moudre. I would really appreciate a series of lessons on that topic. Greetings, -- Chris.

Translation of "Elle a fait de la danse".Why does the Kwik Kwiz say that "She took dance lessons" is the correct translation of "Elle a fait de la danse." instead of "She danced." which was marked as incorrect? There is nothing in the lesson that suggests why this might be so...

Des yeux noisette--CorrectI thought I was following the rule: this phrase is not a compound adjective, nor does the color derive from a real thing.

Adjectives after c'est are masculineYet the examples state: "C'est une jolie robe," and "C'est une bonne nageuse." Why is the feminine used here?
