Does Kwiziq change the Brain Map layout?

I started my french with Kwiziq a few weeks ago and decided to take screenshots of my Brain Map periodically to have a cool reference for my improvement over time. I was comparing my old Brain Map screenshot to my current one and realise that it has differences in the layout of the segments. It's not a big deal and is just for fun but I was curious about if and why Kwiziq alters the segment arrangemet on the Brain Map?

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on utilise [Noah] c'est un véritable expert. Pourquoi on n'utilise pas "il" ici?

Hi, I can’t seem to find le calendrier de l’Avent. Did it launch yesterday December 1?

I was struggling because London is a place and usually you replace a place by y at the same time I recognized the "de" which triggers en

Hey guys, i love the quizlet and saw a comment on hear 3 years back saying italian in the next planned language is that still the case? if so is there a timeline?

Why does "you won't be able to forget it" use "plus"? I entered "vous ne pourrez pas l'oublier" and it was marked incorrect. I would think using "plus" would translate more to "you will no longer be able to forget it," which seems a bit odd for a place that you hadn't visited before, since you can't forget something you hadn't visited. Maybe this is just a situation where I need to ignore the literal translation though.

For the sentence " and limit sugary treats " the hint is " and [I'm going to] limit..." so the answer I used was "et j'aller à limite les friandses." but the answer was wrong and the 'correct' answer was "et limiter les friandises." which if I'm right in thinking should mean "and [to] limit sugary treats" not "and [I'm going to] limit sugary treats." 

For this exercise, A Thanksgiving gift, I have searched for turkey, and according to Google, there is dinde, the feminine for turkey and dindon, for masculine. I know in English they don't have genders. My question is, should we put the correct gender in French?

Thank you!

Why does the adjective in this case come prior to the noun: 

Lisa est une très bonne vendeuse.

But in this case (also describing goodness or quality) it comes after:

Maurice est un professeur excellent.

Does this indicate that the BAGS guideline doesn't apply to the adjective excellent?

Here's a famous mnemonic tip to help you remember adjectives that come before the noun: you can call them the BAGS adjectives, which stand for

Beauty (joli/beau)

Age (vieux/jeune)

Goodness (gentil/méchant).

1. Is 'piquer' a valid verb in French? Can one say 'piquer l’intérêt'?
