Not sure why - it does not seem a particularly unusual word to use in this context ?
It is interesting just how many words French has for 'annoying'!
I thought the future tense should be used after quand or lorsque. So, shouldn't this phrase be, lorsqu'on visitera un nouveau lieu.
I was going to write about 'very fun' here - it is a controversial phrase in English to say the least ! I haven't heard it used in about the past 60 years. However, I see this has come up in another topic, where 'very fun' was subsequently to be changed to 'great fun' - this should be done in this lesson as well. The preferred answers should also reflect that 'great fun' is not the same as 'very funny'.
While I am here, 'next week's test' - a student is talking, so the informal « l'interro » is more likely than « l'évaluation » unless a major assessment is proposed. Although the final transcript reasonably uses « le test », the correction board on the way through scrubbed « l'interro » for the more formal « l'évaluation », indicating that as the 'best answer' .
On the next screen « camarade de classe » for 'classmate' (correct) was crossed off for the imprecise and less formal « camarade ». Either should be indicated as being correct.
Would it be possible to adapt this lesson for those living in Québec? Here, they would use the phrase "faire son épicerie"?

« Un billet aller » is not being listed as a correct option for 'one-way ticket' but should be. There are several choices given for using « aller simple », which implies this is the only correct term.
I see that the answer is à and not en. Why is en not appropriate in this case?

Is it as simple as little bits of chocolate?
