Kwiziq app?How are things going with the Kwiziq app? I know you're busy with implementing Spanish right now, but an app could be useful. When swapped out by the OS, it could retain the user-entered text instead of discarding them like phone-browsers often do when you don't answer all the questions in one go. I make many mistakes in the writing challenges and need to look at other pages and apps to find out why. When I come back to continue, the page reloads and I have to start over.

Why we say in French, “cette école “. Why it is not “cet école”? Because you école start with a vowel.

réussi à vs réussi de?

I thought to "manage to" or "be able to" was "arriver à," "parvenir à" or "réussir à."

Nevertheless, we've this sentence "Mais j'ai réussi du premier coup," featuring "réussir de" + le coup. Is that correct?

"long/longue" coming before nouns -- This is tough to remember as an English speaker, since I am so familiar with a "chaise longue" -- is this the major exception to the rule that "long" generally comes before a noun? I see Aurelie's distinction that adjectives before nouns can be figurative and those after descriptive... but calling a chair "long" doesn't seem any more descriptive than calling a path "long," and yet from the lesson the long path is "le long chemin."

Is the pronunciation of 'faisons'irregular? It sounds like 'fesons' (the 'ai' is not pronounced as in 'il fait' or 'vous faites').
