"leur carriere" vs. "leurs carrieres"I wrote "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing multiple actresses and their careers. This was marked wrong.
I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this topic, and there are several examples, such as "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this topic has come up in the Q&A before, but I am still confused as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular when one is referring to more than one person and their possessions. In this case, it seems that saying "leur carriere" would imply that all the actresses are sharing the same career.
Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I enjoyed learning about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her.

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !
P.S. Apologies if this question appears twice - the first time I posted it, it simply disappeared, so I've rewritten it here.
I hear « réguliers « with a soft g sound as in ange , instead of a hard g as in guerre. Is this a particularity of accent?

The translation of "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !" is "And you hear the same song, oh!". Why is "on" translated as "you"? I thought the translation of "on" is "one" or "we". Thanks!
I don't know if this was just a glitch, but during the exercise in the acceptable answers for "I made my pumpkin pie", the option audio says "J'ai fait ma tarte à la citrouille" but the option text says "J'ai fait ma tarte à citrouille". The text at the end of the exercise under "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:" is correct.
In “En 1253, le chapelain Robert de Sorbon fonde un collège pour élèves nécessiteux” I was surprised that it was not “les élèves” or “des élèves”. Is there a particular reason why this is the case?
When we are using C'est plus the standalone adjective,is it always masculine and singular?on it can also be masculine and plural depending on the sentence ofcourse
To stay at a hotel should be dormir à l'hôtel.
Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.
