Pourquoi utilise-t-on le singulier pour traduire "in the mountains" mais le pluriel pour traduire "in the Alpes" alors que les deux sont pluriels en anglais? 

Can't a simple "Le" be used in place of "Chaque"

I am a little confused with the section 'gift you a 15 euro voucher'; in English we would say give you a 15 euro gift voucher, which then seems to translate more literally into the french equivalent in the text. Why has it be phrased gift you a ...?

I'm looking at the "Manon n'a pas eu a payer" as the translation of the English "Manon didn't have to pay."  This translates literally but is it correct French.  I would think "Manon didn't have to pay" would be something like "Manon n'a pas du a payer."

Bonjour Madame !

In the sentence of the lesson -J’ai un chien et une chienne. The audio speaks “shienn” for both words although ‘chien’ is spoken as ‘shian’ with a nasal sound I recall .

Also ‘et’ is not clear to me . Maybe because I am not a native speaker. Please clarify.

Merci d’avance !
