I understand une dizaine means 10 or so.  As do all the other examples in the lesson.  Therefore, what is the difference with the last example?

Je veux deux douzaines de pommes....  Why does this also not mean:

I want two dozen or so/or approximately - apples>  ?

Thank you.

Can one use the construction attendre jusqu'à ce que..?

for example if i wanted to say i'm waiting until i am ready, could i say

j'attends jusqu'à ce que je sois prêt 

or would I just say

j'attends que je sois prêt.

Merci.

I am wondering why in a lesson of monter dans and descendre de that a quiz question is using débarque?  Thanks.  (Rose débarque du bateau" means:)

Je suis contente = emotion

But I know that the person loved the exercice because she already told me. So, shouldn't it be passé composé?  "Je suis contente que tu as aimé l'exercice."

merci, tutu
