In “Salut Mathilde, ça te dirait de passer au magasin de fripes au kilo ? Salut Paul ! Oui carrément, ils ont plein de nouveautés en plus, il faut qu'on y aille avant qu'ils soient dévalisés.”

Should it be “dévalisées” because “they” are the “nouveautés” which are female & plural?

Is the hyphen with 41 correct here? On the page Expressing numbers 70 to 999 in French it says no hyphen for 41?

There seems to be a mistake on this page. Everything is in English!

It says “you always use the masculine with c'est. ” 

But in the very beginning example “c’est une jolie robe” 

Here the adjective is feminine- how? Also, it says when its followed with une/un then we us “ c’est” - how une can be following c’est when the adjective is feminine?

It cuts out mid-way through.

All of the examples with du chocolat or du cafe translate as some chocolate or some coffee, but in my kwiz it has it listed as nearly correct. I don't really care about the points, but it's confusing for the quiz to not line up with the lesson.

In the first sentence of the full text at the end of the lesson, the last phrase text reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says ..."alors, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !" 

During the exercise, the text for this phrase also reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says"...donc, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !"

Since "comme" is the qualifier in the preceding phrase, the use of either "alors" or "donc" doesn't seem to make sense.

J'ai mangé trois mangues.

If ' trois mangues ' is underlined >> Je l'ai mangée.

If only  ' mangues ' is underlined >> J'en ai mangé trois. 

Is this correct? Or do we always use en whether the number is underlined or not.

In the 90s, several rap groups released songs that included the repeated refrain "Whoop/Whoot there it is!"  This would often be played during sporting events, especially basketball, as a way to celebrate scoring a goal. Is the French "ça y est" similarly celebratory?  Is it ever associated with scoring a goal at a sporting event?
