Goodmorning, in the writing exercise "A favour between colleagues" the solution can be:

- "Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ?" or

- "Que puis-je faire pour toi ?"

Would it be incorrect to say "Qu'est-ce que puis-je faire pour toi ?". Thanks in advance.

Will you be doing an Italian course at some time? Thank you.

Can you explain the difference?  When I looked up branch (of a river), my dictionary gave branchement.  This was not accepted in the context of this story. 

Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?

Thanks, Jeramy

Should je suis toujours anxieux also be an accepted answer compared to je suis toujours nerveux? Or perhaps anxieux is considered more a medical condition and too strong in this context? 

Why did the quiz ask only one question, yet the results show 2 questions, one unanswered?

I understand the news casters on TV24 but I am having a difficult time understanding the extremely fast speakers on your B1 exercise, even though I am looking at the printed exercise while I listen to the recording.  Is it possible for you to use speakers who are more articulate?

In “Salut Mathilde, ça te dirait de passer au magasin de fripes au kilo ? Salut Paul ! Oui carrément, ils ont plein de nouveautés en plus, il faut qu'on y aille avant qu'ils soient dévalisés.”

Should it be “dévalisées” because “they” are the “nouveautés” which are female & plural?

If a tangerine is "une mandarine" in French, as per this lesson, what is a mandarin in French? Is it "une tangerine"?  (which would be quite confusing to English speakers)

Oh, c'était sympa and not Oh, c'étaient sympas? 

Since the question references vacances that's always plural, I thought the answer should the equivalent of 'they were', not 'it was'.
