Des vs Quelques

The correct answer to "There are some girls" was Il y a des fille. I had Il y a quelques filles. This was deemed to be wrong. Can someone explain the difference?

Usage « en »

Salut !

Dans ce cas ci-dessous, l'emploi de « en » ( Il n'en faut ) est-il correct ?

Je cherche une guitare usagée. Il n'en faut pas être de haute qualité, mais qu'il soit en bon état. C'est pour apprendre à jouer.

Dans la dernière phrase « C'est pour apprendre à jouer. » est-il possible d'utiliser « en » « Y » ou « la / l' » pour faire mention à la guitare ? Si oui, est-il mieux de l'ajouter selon l'usage normal ?

Merci !

request more clarification on idiomatic example phrase

This is a sample sentence from this lesson:

J'ai de plus en plus de mal à me concentrer.

I understand the more and more part. As a student, without the translation, I would not have come up with I'm struggling more and more to focus. I was seeing this as ... I have (more and more) pain myself to concentrate. Is there a lesson on avoir mal a that talks about struggling? If so J'ai de plus en plus de mal avec cette example! :)

My dictionary gives énorme for huge. Is there a particular reason for using immense instead?

Can this be recorder with slower audio? While the speaker may talk that way, she is much too fast to catch all the words and the liaisons

The sound file for "Le soleil brillait sur la campagne, et les animaux couraient dans l'herbe verdoyante." is garbled in the last half.
