de/des before adjectiveFrom the week 71 A1 writing challenge: "She likes eating salad and also small tomato pieces" -> "Elle aime bien manger de la salade et aussi DES petits morceaux de tomate". I had expected "..et aussi DE petits morceaux.." Isn't there a rule that 'des' loses its s when there is an adjective before the noun?

Self study guidance/planning?Hello. I have decided to work towards the DELF A2. I have a native french partner who is willing to support me with reviewing my progress, and a selection of text books from previous (failed) attempts to do attend french classes. I'm more motivated than the past as we'll be moving to France! Amazing what pressure can do! I am trying to find suggested plans and structures to guide my learning - something a classroom would offer. The Kwiziq guidance for grammar at each level is invaluable, the advice on Lawless French and a handful of mock exams - so I'm not completely at a loss. However, I wonder if people know of any other helpful resources specifically to support the self-study planning and structure towards A2?
