Speaking to friends, would it not be correct to say: 'Dépêche-toi', rather than 'Dépêchez-vous'?

The lesson says "Note that while the forms de hauteur, de longueur, de largeur can also be used (though less commonly), you can NEVER say de profond."

Surely it would make more sense to say "Note that while the forms de haut, de long, de large are more common than de hauteur, de longueur, de largeur, you can NEVER say de profond."

I often find that if I have a lesson I want to retest on it won't let me & says:

"To kwiz this lesson again, save it to a notebook and kwiz against it until you have nailed it."

but when I add it to the notebook it then says:

"This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."

apologies if this has been asked before, but I did search & check the FAQ but didn't find anything.

many thanks  :)

Can one say "le jour avant" as well ? 

I don't understand why  "Pour être riche, il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent" is wrong? Any ideas, please.

I have few friends

Are both translations correct?

J'ai quelques amis

J'ai peu d'amis

Bonjour,

Je n'ai jamais vu cette expression avant. Est-ce que c'est la même chose que de dire « Bien qu'elle soit » ?

Merci!

If I recall, the hint was to use the term, 'Ivory Coast', which tricked me up.  I normally would use 'Côte d'Ivoire'.  I opted to accept the hint, which was not accepted.  I felt duped by the hint.  Perhaps others fell into this same trap.  Take a look at it.

Imo, it should be "par carte", not "en carte". Isn't it?

I'm having a terrible time with pronunciation of these verbs. Google translate doesn't pick it up well even when I play clips of the native speakers. Any suggestions?
