"Blesser" can be glossed as '(to) wound' also. Cf. the noun "blessure" = 'a wound.'

If you want to be UK-friendly, French "collège" corresponds to our high school/secondary school, which usually takes pupils from the age of 11 (though some places over here do have a middle school system).

Good idea! Thankfully I got them all after having a Master's in French! And @massromantic, I love your profile icon. ;)

Can you please accept 'Items of clothing' for 'les habits' - it's essentially the same thing... This is really helping for my French GCSE :)

Seems a little iffy, although I might be trying to defend my failure. What makes change so much different than generic money? And I always said manteau and acteur in lieu of veste and comédien.

The academic words are kinda tricky because they're a bit region-specific... Here in Quebec, a bachelor is a "baccalauréat" and "college" actually refers to a level of education unique to the province (between high-school and university). And we use licence (generally in plural, as in "mes licences") for driver's licence.
