épargner is a correct translation for to save up but the bot changed it to économiser.

The English translation of this ' By the time he's had his lunch, you can have a shower' is agreed by 50 of my fb friends to be ungrammatical and not something an english person would say. The wrong answer - the time it takes him to have lunch, you could have a shower, is much more what we would say, although we'd say 'In the time..'  and you might say'In the time it takes him to have lunch, you can have a shower' although could is better. Could someone please pay attention to this. It feels wrong consistently having to select a fake English answer.

The audio sounds strange

Is “courir dans les escaliers “ the expression for to run up the stairs?  If so, how do you say to run down the stairs.

I've always been baffled about when a hyper is used as in this interview "As-tu..."  Je bison d'aide!

Why the hyphens in "pas - aussi - monstrueuse?"
