Pronunciation of "petite"When she says "Quand j’étais petite" the last word does not sound like it starts with "p" to me. It sounds like "tetite". I listened several times and I just don't hear the initial "p" sound. Is it just me? What should I be listening for to be sure I hear the "p" sound?

No retry on the quiz?The test saves my original answers, so when I do the quiz again (I did it two weeks ag), it doesn't matter if I correct myself from before, it saves the old answers. Is it supposed to be like that?

Why is it "Certain" rather than "Some"?I'm a little confused. In the lesson above it said "Before the noun, certain/certaine means 'some' or 'particular': it retains a vagueness here. After the noun, the meaning of certain is similar to the English one of being 'sure, certain, unquestionable'." Yet in the example "Certain projets sont faciles" means "Certain projects are easy." Why is it "Certain" and not "Some"? Many thanks Catherine
