Question on an exampleJulie a vraiment envie de chocolat = May I ask why this does not read as du chocolat? Since it's le chocolat? Or is it because in this context, this refers to some chocolat - but even then I didn't understand why du gets dropped - wouldn't it be envie du chocolat?

J'essaie or j'essaye

Hello, I typed 'j'essaie' but it corrected to 'j'essaye'. However, under the 'you could also say' section, it said 'j'essaie' was correct. Thanks!

Pronounce final "s" in exprès or not

It could be due to my own hearing problems but I think I hear the final "s" on exprès pronounced in some examples and others not. Would you please clarify, is final "s" pronounced or not? thanks!

Une question, finalement

Aujourd'hui j'ai appris quelque chose nouvelle et intéressante à propos de la Belgique. Il me rappelle des révolutions de la France et de la Russe. Quelle l'histoire fascinante. Pourquoi il n'y a pas de questions de compréhension? Ils me manquent.

J'en vaux vraiment la peine !J'en vaux vraiment la peine !I'm really worth it!
Tu vaux la peine.
Why in the second example, the 'en' is not necessary? If i say 'Tu en vaux la peine', would it translate differently to 'Tu vaux la peine'?
