Quiz: faire les magasins vs faire du shoppingThe sales are on, I'm going shopping ! : C'est les soldes, je vais ___ !

J'ai répondu avec "du shopping," mais la réponse était "les magasins." Mais dans la leçon, les deux semblent plutôt égales.

Dans ce contexte, ça doit être "les magasins" ? :)

Use of centime

When speaking can you say "un euro virgule cinquante centimes" or is it always "un euro et cinquante centimes"?

Perhaps the lesson on "Writing decimal numbers in French" could be updated to cover this topic as well.

question in test

In this sentence:

Quand vous voyagerez en France, vous serez très occupé.

should 'occupé' be 'occupés' to agree with the plural 'vous?'

Thank you!
