une BD = a comic strip.

1. "je ferais régulièrement du sport" --> I thought "régulièrement" would go at the end of the sentence, or at least the expression "faire du sport"?

I'm wondering if in the lesson on d'ici.... the English translation might be "between now and such and such a date or time" and that d'ici be explicitly contrasted with "dans", which of course refers to a specific time when such and such will be done rather than a span of time within which it will be done. Just a thought. It was not until I came up with this idea that I began to understand "d'ici..."
