I understand about the "l'orientation" part, but shouldn't this read "Je n'ai jamais eu DE sens . . .." ?   In negative sentences, we are told to use "de" after a negative express in order to express no/any, which seems to be exactly what this sentence is doing.  Why translate "I've never had A good sense of direction" with a definite article?

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)

Salute,

Recently I came across with the phrase le tour de magie, here tour is meaning trick, is that right? Would it be useful to include this meaning as well at this lesson?

Bonsoir

1. Oui, je pars en vacances

Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?

The text above says "different than" - this is an Americanism.  In British English it should read "different from", or (less favoured) "different to."  However the words are spelt in British English.  I am nitpicking, but isn't this par for the course?!
