Placement of adverb and s'informer vs se renseigner

1. "je ferais régulièrement du sport" --> I thought "régulièrement" would go at the end of the sentence, or at least the expression "faire du sport"? I remember this lesson saying that sometimes adverbs ending in -ment go at the beginning or end of a sentence? Position of French Adverbs - with compound tenses

2. I translated "Getting informed" as "se renseigner." What's the difference between this and "s'informer"?

Quel Est Le Contexte De Ces Verbes ?

Désolé de commencer à ressembler à un disque rayé avec ces questions contextuelles, mais :

J'ai vu les verbes emballer et déballer utilisés pour décrire l'emballage et le déballage de manière générique. Les verbes emballer et déballer sont-ils utilisés principalement pour déplacer un ménage ou une entreprise entière ?

The best I can fathom, verb usage changes with an increase in scale/size or something becoming more of a commercial activity (not necessarily workplace jargon, that happens in every language). Am I on to something here or am I way off-base?

Missing p sound

Hi, I feel that the “p” sound is completely missing from “pour” in “pour l'infaillible soutien que vous nous avez montré ces dix derniers mois.”.

Is it missing? If so, is this an audio file error, or a genuine French way of speaking at the C1 level?

At vs in

Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.

However, I was marked incorrect.

Translation of 'Maybe (that) we can practice together?'

One of the possible translations given for the last sentence of the exercise is 'Peut-etre qu'on peut s'entraîner ensemble ?' Does not s'entrainer imply a joint activity and so 'ensemble' is not required?
