Je suis en classe - I'm in class
Je suis dans la classe - I'm in the classroom
... I actually don't see the difference between 'classe' in both sentences
in my understanding both sentences could mean I'm in class or I'm in the classroom
It's a bit weird...
Votre voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.
translated to: Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small
hmm... having the first part of the dialogue: 'Votre voiture est petite.'
the given correct answer: 'Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.' sounds to me as: Yes, but it (the car) is small in my garage.
now, the English 'Yes, but my garage is small' I would rather say in French: 'Oui, mais mon garage est petit.'
I might be wrong but this french statement / opinion example is somewhat not the best one here
anyone to explain this ?

Pourquoi pas , "mon sac à dos"
I find the difference between singular and plural to be very subtle in spoken French, even when spoken slowly and carefully as in the audio lessons.
des (¨day¨) vs de (¨duh¨)
J'adore aussi l'odeur des châtaignes (plural)
J'adore aussi l'odeur de châtaigne (singular)
Any hints on how to pick up that difference when listening?
Given the sentence: 'Gwoka combines music, singing and dancing' to translate I used 'allie' which I did consider as a synonym to 'combine', yet it was marked as a mistake...
I am confused though, was it really wrong?
