Mistake in correcting algorithmIn the exercise entitled "A Book Lover," there is a phrase "...rien qu'en observant ses grands frères et sœurs." When I gave exactly that spelling, the s's at the end of "frère-" and "sœur-" were marked as incorrect...even though they were present in the correct example, and the narrator gave us a very clear clue that the words were plural by the way she pronounced "ses." Just letting you know about this glitch in the program.
Also, I frequently find myself needing a 2nd or 3rd listen to be certain about certain words. Sometimes I'm able to get the program to repeat the recording, often not; when I do, I often need to click on the audio button multiple times before it complies. Either I'm trying to cheat, or the function allowing us to hear the phrase over again doesn't work very well. Please let me know which is the case!
Otherwise, I'm enjoying these challenges very much!
Could I chose freely which one to use or there are some circumstance need to be consider?
While translating I came accross this sentence " L'homme n'attend plus ses opinions, sa conscience, son bonheur que de l'ordre d'un autre" and I don't understand the meaning of the construction of " n'attendre plus.... que de l'ordre d'un autre".
Thank you for your help!!
My biggest mistakes at this simple point in A1 are because I don't know the word as opposed to missing the grammar rules (parce que, par, oeuvres, etc.). When I make mistakes the lessons recommended are almost always about the grammar -- are there lessons or suggestions for picking up more vocabulary? (although I'm suspecting that just doing exercises is the best way to get exposed to more words :-) )
In the next to last sentence would it be more polite to ask "Je vous devrais combien?" instead of "je vous dois...."
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.
Bonjour, this link tells me that the conjugaison of lever in le futur simple is e without the accent è. Can you please confirm? Merci!

For the phrase "undeniable advantages" I used the adjective "incontestables" and this was marked wrong. Could I not use this word, in this context? Thank you.
Any reason why we use restait allongées à as opposed to s'allongeait à ?
I wrote : C'est là qu'elle aimait étendre sa couverture sur laquelle elle s'allongeait à rêvasser pendant des heures, but its not in the answers.
