Yes agree with Frank C. I am level C1 and this was difficult for me. Lots of idioms / expressions, the use of subjonctif, etc. 

Most of my mistakes here happened because I did not know whether the place was a city, a state, or a country.

It would be helpful if quizzes included a hint indicating this.

example from this lesson - Et leurs anniversaires ? - C'est bientôt !
contradicts with example from another lesson about c'est vs il/elle est - Où est ta tasse? Elle est sur la table. (rule: use il/elle est when giving opinions/short statements about specific things.)
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French


leur anniversaires - we are specifically talking about their aniversaries. so shouldn't we use il/elle est ? or maybe ils/elles sont ? 

Why in this sentence 'francaise' is omitted? The English text does contain the adjective 'French', that is to say

Pour moi, la meilleure joueuse de tennis française sera toujours Amélie Mauresmo.

Hello, in this story, when they are at the library, shouldn't 'choose' be used here rather than 'chose'?

Thanks.

Salut, i am confused as to why homework translated as devoir instead of devoirs Is it because homework is treated as uncountable and/or plural in French? I assume it's a one, countable, homework thats why I didn't think of it being devoirs.

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !

Est-ce ta trousse ? - Oui, c'est la mienne. 
Is this your pencil case? - Yes, this is mine.

In the above example, how is la used?

From my knowledge, le/la/les can be used for the following reasons:

1. to say 'the' as a definite article
2. to generalize (la vie est compliquée - life is complicated)
3. as a direct object pronoun (le - him, la - her)

does the usage of la come under any of the above categories or is it used in a new way that i must learn?
