There is a sentence in the text:
" les odeurs de cannelle et d'épices évoquent des souvenirs d'enfance"

I seem to get this wrong quite often - why is there no article after de in all of these cases (de cannelle, d'epices and d'enfance).

Thank you!

There was no audio for this part. I clicked on "play" and it changed to "pause" as expected, but there was no sound. 

I translated ' to enjoy the delicious traditional meal' as ' pour se régaler du délicieux repas traditionnel'

I understood 'se régaler' was used to express the enjoyment of food rather than just eating it.

I don’t understand why you say ” Mais je n’avais pas LE choix”, but (I google translated this, as I first thought you were wrong here) "Je n’avais pas DE choix" 

Please explain as I’m learning on my own and have no teacher to ask. I don’t even get where to look in the grammar for this. 

I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?"  Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?

For , "Later, he went on to create his own paintings" the hint is "use 'finir par' (went on to)" but the only translation offered is "Plus tard, il a crée ses propres peintures."  You may want to change the hint/translation. 

I put the cedilla in "Ils placaient" and was marked wrong, yet the lesson shows it there

In section 3 of the written exercise, Actor Omar Sy, in PLF the pronunciation of "une" in "la série une" sounds like "un" & not like "une".

Why can’t it be “tu as l’odeur du pain” ?
