Pronunciation of "une bonne tisane"

Bonjour !

A fun exercise and review of "les boissons".

Just a note that I had to listen to the phrase, "une bonne tisane" several times because it also sounded to me as if the speaker is saying, "le" instead of "une". Because, I know that "tisane" is feminine I was finally able to hear the "une". But, it wasn't clear, especially for an exercise at this listening level. I think that part of the problem is that he is pronouncing the "e" as a schwa sound - an extra syllable like they do in the South of France.

Merci !

“which will relax me”

Can “ce qui déroulera” be used here, or does this verb mean “unwind” only in a more literal sense (e.g. unwind a reel of cable)?

Meaning vs correctness

The trouble with these exercises, even though you can learn new ways of saying things, don't really recognise that as long as people understand you then you can be a bit more relaxed. In a few examples you used words that I don't have at hand but I had words with similar meanings. I guess that's why these programs don't suit everyone.

Avoir du mal à or avec
What is the difference between avoir du mal à and avoir du mal avec. I was marked wrong for avoir du mal à (math) but the lesson seems to indicate one can use either. Thanks.

Use of plutôt in Anger Management

Can “Ça marche géneralement plutôt bien” ( quite well) be rendered as assez bien? I e would assez bien and plutôt bien be interchangable in above sentence?

Je pense que j'ai vu leur numéro de téléphone quelque part

"I think that I saw their phone number" : As "I" is the subject for both verbs i.e. "think" and "saw", would "Je pense avoir vu leur numéro quelque part" be an acceptable alternative here, or would that just be wrong?

Autre chose et quelques chose d'autre

I thought that "turc" referred to a Turkish man and that "turque" referred to a Turkish woman. The correct answer indicates that "turque" refers to a Turkish man. Please explain why my answer was marked as incorrect.

Avoir du mal avec...

Hello,

why is it j'ai eu plus de mal avec rather than du?

Also, why is it EU instead of AVAIS...

Thanks.
