You just have to watch all the moviesHi. In the week 19 B1 writing test the above is translated as: Il n’y a qu’à regarder tous les films. I can understand 'you only have to watch' bit but please what purpose does the 'y' pronoun play here please? [And as an unrelated aside could this sentence not be simply said as: Vous devez juste regarder tous les films. ]

How to add accents on lineHow can one add the necessary French accents to the written questions on the quizzes? I'm using a PC and it's too cumbersome to do it in Word and cut/paste.

Why do we bother with tu? Most of us are never going to get that close to a French person.

"traditionnelle" before or after noun?In a writing challenge, a correct answer was "et nous avons fini avec la traditionnelle bûche de Noël". Googling, I find things like "Musée du Costume Traditionnel" and many more example where this adjective comes after the noun. So why is it before the noun in the writing challenge?
