I selected: "êtes d'accord" and the Kwizbot said that I was partly right and that "étes d'accord" was also correct. I'm new to this course, but have never seen this alternate accent for êtes and didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the learning page for the lesson. Is this really a common and acceptable way to write the word?

Thanks,

Mark

vocab list and hint

Two things: I looked up the suggested words and phrases on Google Translate, and a bunch of them ended up being marked wrong. Why not just give us a vocab list at the start?

Also, the phrase "He is very good" is followed by the hint ("good at basketball "). I'm not sure why a hint was given, since the answer was "Il est très bon". Because of the hint I thought the answer must need something more, when it didn't. Maybe eliminate that hint from the exercise? It doesn't serve a purpose.

Chacun, chacune, chaque change order in title

The phrases on the two sides of the "=" in the title are not parallel, so this makes it confusing from the get-go as to which is the pronoun and which are indefinite adjectives. I suggest changing it to "Chaque, chacun, chacune = each, each one.." and so forth.

Good, better, best

Good, better, best(bon, meilleur, le/la meilleure). How is "ma meilleure amie", translated as "my best friend" distinguisablle from "my better friend" except by convention? I.e. one would never say yare my better friend.

language change according to gender.Elle adore la culture britannique, et parle bien anglais.

As in this sentence we are talking about Cecile(female), so why we use "anglais" instead of "anglaise"

correct answer not an option in quiz

The quick quiz offers this:

"Vous faites la queue avec ma mère." means:
You are queueing [US: standing in line] with your mother
Doesn't it mean "You are queueing with MY mother"? which is not one of the choices in the exercise.
