You can use avoir tendance à, too, right?Maybe that could be mentioned in the lesson?

"ca craint" (sorry, I don't seem to be able to activate the accent function ...)

I know I am a little old-fashioned about this, but even though "it sucks!" is used more and more frequently these days in colloquial American speech, I think it is still a fairly vulgar expression. Does "ca craint" have the same level of vulgarity as "ca suce" in French? I'm just curious.

"J'éspère que vous allez très bien"

Why is "que" used in the sentence above rather than "ce que", despite "vous allez très bien" seems much like a fact(though it is a wish)?

How about plurality?Does this lesson imply anything about the singularity/plurality of adjectives following these pronouns?

Using "de" instead of "de la"

In the last sentence, the speaker says he can't eat salad without bread and "salad" is expressed as "de salade." Shouldn't it be "de la salade?"

The translation of "demultiplie" given above is "reduced"...my understanding is that it means the opposite (to multiply). Can you address?

"I don't know what to say."

This exercise only accepts "Je ne sais pas quoi dire" as translation, but I just wanted to confirm that "Je ne sais que dire" is also correct, or is there some difference in meaning between the two that excludes the latter?
