For the question ""Je suis très vieux." The speaker is:" I have answered this as "male" but the bot is grading my answer as BOTH incorrect and unanswered.  Could you advise which it is?

Je suppose qu'on peut dire "Elle est froid(e)" pour signifier "Elle n'est pas chaleureuse"?  Ai-je raison?  Si oui, est-ce que l'adjectif accord avec le sujet dans ce cas?

I don't think its necessary to keep rating myself , tbh I could give myself a smiley face but it makes no difference to learning french !

The lesson states: "You will never use autres on its own," which in the context of the entire lesson appears to mean you would need des or d', since no other option is given for the plural, but you could in fact say, for instance, "ces autres journaux." Even if you want to make the argument that using ces fulfils the point quoted statement as to autres not being alone, it is still misleading at best.

In the first sentence of this exercise, "the thief" has been translated as "le criminel" when I think "le voleur" would be a more accurate translation. Also in that first line, the punctuation in French is different from the original English (but that is probably less important)

I don't understand the difference between Je viens a + ville and Je viens de + ville

I was also thrown by this sentence because at first sight it contains the phrase "bien entendu".  I guess the "bien" is qualifying  "j’ai entendu parler", but does it mean something more than just "J'avais entendu parler de ce nouveau poste" ?

In the expression ”...where we'll be able to chat at length.”, is it possible to use ’en détail’ instead of ’longuement’ ?  My dictionary gives both as possibilities. 

The vocab list for Vive les legumes has pumpkin as une citrouille, yet it was marked incorrect with les potirons as the correct answer. Where did I go wrong? Thank you
