In the context of this lesson, 'remind [someone] of [someone or something]' means 'put unwittingly [someone] in mind of the subject's resemblance to [someone else or something else]'. The meaning in French, although the grammatical construction is different from English in terms of direct and indirect objects, is the same as this.

But what about the alternative English usage 'remind of' meaning 'cause consciously [someone] to remember to give attention to [a person or thing]'. Often this is expressed in a sentence such as "Jack reminded me that my uncle is coming next week", but could be shortened to "Jack reminded me of [or about] my uncle's visit".

To be sure, a romantic image !  I had a little problem with the female voice , which is normal for me because of loss of hearing in the higher frequencies.   That is not a complaint.  Today, I decided to listen again after completing the exercise, this time without translating in my head.  It was slow enough that I could do that with ease.  It seemed like a breakthrough!   I think I will continue with this approach. 

Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?

"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."

I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?

should it not be "ces sont des amours" rather than "ce sont des amours"?

what should we use with piscine sur or dans
