Feminine countries use AU and Masculin countries use EN

in my test I used AU for Poland and it was marked as an error.  So then I listened to the disucssion by Jacqueline Dorion (FrenchByPhone) and of countries Poland was listed feminine under the AU column.  Question:  why was my answer AU marked incorrect and the correct answer was suppose to be EN.???

The heading of your question has the grammar reversed.

 ‘en’ is used with feminine countries - la Pologne, therefore en Pologne. Having had a quick look at a video on countries on the site Frenchbyphone, it is also definitely correctly identified as feminine, as expected that it would be. You appear to have mislearned this section on both sites, and should revisit the lessons.
