"I've got a blue pen and a blue shirt".  I've got???  I don't think that's proper English anywhere.

I ai utilisé "se réunir" au lieu de "se retrouver" ou "se rejoindre" mais ce choix n'était pas accepté ? Pourquoi ?

Hi,

“les descendants” is a noun, so should the translation be more along the lines of “the French-Canadian descendants of those original colonists”?

This is nit-picking, I know, but please allow me to question the literal English translation you gave in one example in the dates lesson.  In English the year 2013 (twenty thirteen) is not as the example suggests, literally "two thousand thirteen".  It is literally "twenty hundred thirteen".  Just as 2022 is literally "twenty hundred twenty-two", etc.  We might have chosen the alternative pronunciation of 2013 as "two thousand and thirteen", but that would not be twenty thirteen.  When we say "twenty thirteen" we are literally saying twenty hundred thirteen, not "two thousand thirteen".

2013 (deux mille treize)

2013 (twenty thirteen -> literally "two thousand thirteen")

P.S.  Parallèlement, on étudient les mathématiques et la langue française.  Incroyable!  :-)
