I spent a good couple of minutes trying to figure out what she was saying in the middle. I ended up submitting "Il fait trop chaud bon sauce bolognaise!" "Pour une" obviously makes more sense, but did anyone else have trouble making out those two words? It certainly sounded like "bon" to me.

Tout d'abord merci pour ce chanson, quelle poésie merveilleuse. En ce qui concerne le verse " Qui n'ait jamais viré de bord, mais viré de bord" il me semble qu'il y deaux significations différents ici. La premiere est que le bons copain restent encore inébranalble mais par contre la deuxième partie du verse signifie qu'ils prennent un chemin ou un cours different.   

In the first sentence, "la tempête [...] a frappé notre village à Noël," why do we use "à" here? Can you say, "la tempête a frappé le Noël"? Is "à" used with all holidays, e.g., "la tempête a frappé à Paques," etc.?

Is abricot not masculine? Why is it à l'abricot instead of au abricot? Thank you

Why "a bu dans ma gourde"?  Drank in my flask?  Why not "a bu de ma gourde"?

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

I translated mortgage as "hypothèque" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers. What's the difference between hypothèque and emprunt immobilier?

Why in "tu" form the conjugation changes "Regarde-lui", but not "Regardes-lui"?

Whereas in "nous" the ending is the same "Arretons-lui"

In the third sentence, the second phrase in English to be translated is given in the exercise as "...the pronunciation is difficult...", without the adverb "very" being used before "difficult" , however the French translation in the exercise & in the final full text is given as "...la prononciation est très difficile..." instead of "...la prononciation est difficile...".
