Bonjour - for some reason i'm having a really hard time with this lesson.  My confusion is the fact that the lesson instructs that the order is reversed with reminding someone of someone else, which I understand well enough.

My problem comes in the test, for a perfect example:

"You remind him of Audrey Hepburn" to which the answer is:

Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn

This seems like the exact same order as the English.  Any tips or help would be appreciated.  Merci d'avance.

qu'est-ce que le rideau signifie? 

Quand je serai grand, puis-je être aussi cool que ces enfants?

I am trying to figure out the English translate for 'donc je vais me régaler'

Does it mean:

1) so I am going to enjoy.

2) so I am going to feast.

In the text it says:

que consommait la population pauvre de Bretagne

The translation says:

The French seems to say:

that was eaten the poor population of Brittany

If the English translation is right, then the population is the subject in which case the verb subject order should be different, or, the French actually  says "that was eaten by the poor population of Brittany" and so it should say 

que consommait par la population pauvre ...

My question has to do with the use of the hyphen. Am I correct in assuming that when the pronoun comes after the verb a hyphen must be added?

In the test question with the magic beanstalks, the only accepted answer is Jack got off the magic bean stalk.

In three dictionaries that I have looked up (especially Le Robert & Collins), one of the meanings of decendre with etre is to 'climb down (a tree). Now the preposition 'from' is missing in those definitions but is that so significant a difference that the answer 'Jack climbed down the magic beanstalk" becomes incorrect.
