This isn't really related to the lesson itself, but in the little quiz under the lesson, for "Je l'aime bien qu'il soit un peu paresseux." the answer was "I love him although he's a bit lazy." (which I answered correctly so no questions on "bien que") but isn't "aimer bien" is closer to "like" than "love" as taught in your lesson about this verb?

Confusing by a couple things

In this sentence "s'adressa à elle d'une voix languide" can it please be explained why the "De" in "D'une" is present?

And what is the difference between "Du moins" and "Au moins" ?

And in this sentence - "J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir m'expliquer" why is "bien" necessary/needed?

Thank you!

Il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal.Il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal.

Is the above sentence missing a "faire"? I'm wondering if it should say "nous lui voulions faire du mal"?

Quelle couleur de vernis voulez-vous ? - Je voudrais du vernis à ongles rouge foncé

Why is "de vernis" used in this sentence and "du vernis" in the following sentence ? I thought it was a masculine noun, ie du vernis

Penser que + indicative ne pas

Penser que + subjunctive

Naming Conventions

This may be a little arcane, but what is the general naming convention in French when using proper names from other languages that use the Latin/Roman alphabet, especially for famous persons? For example, in this exercise Leonardo Da Vinci is rendered in the French Léonard de Vinci. The Italian spelling seems to be widely used & in the States at least there has been a move towards using the native spelling of names in academic works & history books.

In English calling him Leonard from Vinci would sound really weird.
