Tartine vs tranches du painI seem to recall in a recent exercise, probably one of this weekend's workout that tranche du (de) pain was the preferred answer for toast and that tartine was also given as a possibility. In this exercise, tartine was the only acceptable translation for a slice of toast. Is this an oversight?

Arizona m ou f ?

puis j'irais en Arizona (from fill in the blanks). As I learned from other sources all US states are masculine but 9: la Californie, la Caroline du Nord, la Caroline du Sud, la Floride, la Géorgie, la Louisiane, la Pennsylvanie, la Virginie, la Virginie occidentale. So, Arizona is not feminine ? So shouldn't it be à l'Arizona?

It would be good to include links to specific vocabulary for the writing

I enjoyed this writing exercise but it could have been better if there were links to the necessary vocabulary. For example the "right size" was difficult to find just using a dictionary to look up words individually and I could not even find a word for sneakers!!

Tout l'après-midi, il avait répété dans sa tête

This answer appears in the writing challemge: "Pre-date stress".

The question was "All afternoon, he'd rehearsed in his head"

Why would the answer not end in "la tête"? Or at least allow both la and sa?

Isn't this a similar case to "il s'est gratté la tête" (He scatched his head) where the body part belongs to the subject of the verb.

Incorrect audio

The audio for “parce que je suis un peu âgé” starts with “car”, not “parce que”.

using le as a pronounI should know this, but can you tell me when using le as a pronoun which comes after the preposition 'de' is the rule that it never becomes' Du'?

I incorrectly did that with the following sentence

Mais quand ma meilleure amie Miriam a décidé de le faire
