I’m struggling to find a bag for use on longer excursion days like our trips to Mont St Michel, Giverny, and Disneyland from Paris. On those days I’d love to bring my nicer water bottle, but I know it’s probably not best to have it out and showing in a side compartment, as it may be swiped in a busy area. For other days when we’re staying in the city, I have some crossbody bags to keep my valuables close. I just wanted something a little more substantial (like a smaller backpack) for when I’d be away from the hotel for multiple hours or even whole days, so I could take some snacks, a portable charger, water bottle, etc! Let me know if you have any recommendations!

I was switched to the “new French” course about a month ago, starting with Unit 4: Lesson 35. I felt so disoriented and behind, but I decided to continue for my upcoming trip to France. I have been trying my best and following the advice of tapping words for translations when needed. I feel like 30% of the time the hints are wrong, though! I’ve been finding mistakes for almost ten lessons now (currently on Unit 4: Lesson 44), and I feel like Duo should be paying my super subscription for all the bad hints I’ve found for them. My sister is a little behind me (by 15 or so levels) and still has not been switched to the new course, so at least I’m paving the way for her to have a smoother transition…
