too hard

I have no idea what this story is about.  Very frustrating.  Also, the audio was way too fast and running together.

pour "créer" de la fausse peau pourrie.

Est-ce que créer un verbe transitif? (to create something)

Pourquoi y a-t-il un "de" apres "créer" dans la phrase?

why à plat elle aussi

This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi."  I don't uderstand the need for "elle."  What purpose does it serve?

I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed.  Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.

Du premier coup/leurre/appât

Suggest translate the French expression with an English equivalent expression - eg 'first go' or 'first time' : "But, I managed first go/time" ? Using more formal English confuses the translation, especially when it is changed from the general 'first go' to the specific 'on my first attempt'.

I don't fish - but looking at Larousse and the Académie site, it seems 'les leurres' is more appropriate for "the lures, and "appat"  for bait. Les leurres gets a strikethrough currently, but is correct.

Re: food shopping in Canada

Would it be possible to adapt this lesson for those living in Québec?  Here, they would use the phrase "faire son épicerie"?
