In the lesson: Raise your hand please, I used votre main since clearly another person is involved, the one telling someone else to raise her hand. Why is la main the correct usage? Thanks much. 

Question..What does ''Mon amie non plus.'' mean ?.. answer My friend neither.

     “My friend too.“ Is given as a mistake.

.. maybe a bit too correct.. whilst my friend neither is grammatically correct, how many of us would actually say that? I think most would more often say “my friend too”.. meaning” my friend agrees with me!

What's the meaning of this phrase, "enchaîné les apéritifs?"

"A series of drinks?" or perhaps even "a round?"

Est-ce que c'est "une console" utilisée pour des jeux vidéos?

I'm not understanding why, in French, when someone is learning something, it is stated as "apprendre à" and not just "apprendre".

For instance: She learns to dance. - Elle apprend à danser.

Given that the unconjugated verb danser literally means "to dance", why do we need to insert à (to) again?

Tangentially, does the verb apprendre ALWAYS take the preposition à? If not, can you give me an example where it wouldn't (and maybe explain why it wouldn't in that situation)?

Thanks!

Salut! In the second last sentence, tarte is feminine, so why is it “LE goûter” and not LA goûter? I’m assuming the meaning of the sentence is “she invites some friends to taste it” or does it mean “the tasting”? 

Why is the first sentence, "I've always loved school."  translated in the Passé Composé instead of Imparfait: "J'ai toujours adoré l'école" ?  This seems to fit the pattern of giving a description (of me in my past), and since it's "always", it doesn't seem to have a clear beginning and end in the past.
