The answer is AU, but why? Quebec is a not a country nor continent. Why not DANS LE? As for region/states/counties

Could we have clarification, please?

The two answers so far have differing advice. Could Cécile comment please?

Laura Lawless’s explanation seems to accord with Alan’s - se parler is one of "20 verbs for which the reflexive pronoun is always an indirect object" (That is, they’re talking to each other, not talking each other, and parlé is invariable.)

Why is there no audio for the mnemonic?

Would love to be able to hear an audio version of the mnemonic poem. I don't see if/where it is possible to play the poem. That would be very helpful.

Must we contribute in French, by the way?Rusty after many years away from this language and at the moment I am understanding French far better than I am writing it. I don't want to embarrass myself by contributing in French. I used to be good at translations so I have suggestions when it is French to English without wanting to compose the French myself right now. I have just come on here today after meaning to do it for many months so will count that as success and not failure that I am not contributing in French yet. Best wishes to all on here and thank you for working my brain.
