Kwizbot's recommendations

Hello. I took a level test, and now the recommended study plan is always in that level. How can I get back to the Kwizbot just making recommendations based on my brain map and not on the level I selected to test?

"Le joueur obtient un point lorsque son adversaire". In English I think we would say "A player" - "Un jouer"?

"pour pouvoir te faire goûter" Why no definite article for it?

The translation is "so you can try it" where is the "it"?

qu'il s'agissait de mon groupe de rock préféré -> it says europe and not rockqu'il s'agissait de mon groupe de rock préféré -> I even checked with google translate and it never ever said rock but d'europe. Can someone please confirm this ? Found other issues with this exercise as well, like eating up of alot of à and de. Why have it in the language if you are going to just eat it up, like having contractions weren't enough, now you need to eat them up as well?

des vs. de after negation

"...nous ne sommes pas des surfeurs expérimentés." Why not 'de' instead of 'des' ?

Il manque "de" or "du"?In the "Manquer de" section it says that we don't use an article so we'd use either "de" or "d'", but in the next section with impersonal structure the example given is: "Il manque du sel dans cette soupe." Since the soup "is lacking of" salt, wouldn't it just be "de sel"? Why would we use an article here?

Possesion and Adj Agreement

Just checking: In looking at the sentence, "Écoutez cette conversation entre Marc et son amie Lola." It is son becuase it is his meaning Marc's friend, but amie becuase Lola is feminine correct? So, if I say "Ma meuillere amie est Laura. I use ma because I am female and meuillere amie because Laura is female. I could also say "Mon meuilleur ami, Charles."

To enjoy food

I translated ' to enjoy the delicious traditional meal' as ' pour se régaler du délicieux repas traditionnel'

I understood 'se régaler' was used to express the enjoyment of food rather than just eating it.

"Which doesn't frighten us at all"

Pourquoi pas, "qui ne nous effraie/effraye pas du tout" ?
