I am not sure why the subjunctive is used here. I understand that trouver takes indicative in the affirmative, but subjunctive if negative. Here it is affirmative, so presumably the word étrange is causing the change in tense. Perhaps because étrange has a negative connotation, or perhaps simply because it is an adjective, as in être étrange que ..
Over the last few days I have powered through over all the A0 topics in order to get them out of the way and get to study A1 or better lessons,yet for some reason it feels like I am on a loop right now, where all the lessons on my study plan are A0 ones even though all of them are 100%'d already, I even got the award for achieving a 100% completion on a level. Is there any way to get Kwiziq to stop giving me these lessons and get it to give me A1 ones ?

In the last sentence, "Exactement Yvan ! Prenez votre temps et restez détendus !", the adjective détendus is plural; the previous comment was directed at Yvan. I would expect the singular détendu if the comment is directed at Yvan. Another interpretation is that the comment is directed at both Yvan and his friend or perhaps others in the group. It is a bit ambiguous. Do you agree?
Why is it not leurs médailles when there is more than one medal?
