Spelling mistakes

I am 68 years old and a habitually bad speller on computers. Does Kwizik actually believe that constantly repeating a particular question is somehow going to improve my spelling on computers

Mislabeled examples

Maybe it's just on my end but the "avoir" example has "eu" and "pris" examples under it.

« Qu'est-ce qui » vs. « Qu'est-ce qu' » when followed by vowel

Bonjour ! One of the A2 level exercises asks which would be the correct beginning for the phrase « [X] a changé entre nous ? » and I'm having a hard time figuring out why the only acceptable answer here is the one with the full « qui ». I thought in front of the vowels we were supposed to make an elision in order to ease the pronunciation. Could you please help? Merci !

A2 not B1 as email indicated

The email labelled this exercise as B1, but once opened is labeled A2. I thought It was rather easy.

Arrivée à l'hôtel A1 Fill-in-the-blanks kwiz - erring detail

"Nous _____ monter au troisième étage," is translated as We ___ go up to the third floor [US: second floor],

But, I think you meant to translate it as [US: fourth floor]

Unclear about preposition use

I can't find a lesson that explains why, for instance, there is no need for a preposition following the conjugated verb espérer in a sentence such as: "J'espère ne pas faire d'erreurs," whereas a sentence such as "il m'a appris à ne pas avoir faire" requires the "à" after the conjugated verb apprendre, just as "le professeur dit de ne pas parler" requries the "de" after dire.

I feel stuck with this problem and would appreciate someone's help.

Thanks so much! Kalpana
