Issue with last sentence

I believe there is an issue with the recording on the last sentence, I can report it to support if you like but thought I would post it here first. The sentence is Mes progrès sont encourageants !

The issue is around the sont word. I should have just thought about what made sense instead of just what I could hear, but it just threw me and I wouldn't wnat it to affect other beginners.

Y with people

Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:

 Il y pense. He’s thinking about her. J’y fais référence. I’m referring to them. On s’y habitue. We’re getting used to him.Found these here : https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/ So y seems to be able to replace people?

Le ne expletif

I adore the construction with the "ne" expletif but is it used in "la langue quotidienne"?

Hi as I am learning about this expression I'm trying to find an audio clip with just this expression to practice saying it by itself but, I can not find it.

Why is "que nous les avons présentés" ignoring all the les about "each other" and using the reflexive? and why is "leur" not used instead?

Lui/Elle

I have been taught that lui refers to both male and female but in the exercise they are conceptualized differently.

Gender of regions, counties etc.Ils habitent dans le Yorkshire.They live in Yorkshire.Does this mean all British counties are masculine? And the many regions ending in "-side" eg. Le Merseyside?I am giving up on this topic, for the tenth time (using several websites). I have been doing an hour a day for 3 years, and am no closer to getting a decent score in your test.I am not remotely interested in Swiss cantons, -whatever they are, or American states,- some of which I've heard of, so I have to avoid this topic in all the apps that I use. I'm not suggesting this is your fault, - it's just too hard for me.Still love the website though!!!
