Vais sounds an awful lot like veut to me.

The difference is the same as in English: une glace de marrons -- an ice cream made from chestnuts (the main ingredient is chestnuts)

une glace aux marrons -- an ice cream made with chestnuts (chestnuts are not the main ingredient)    

This nuance wasn't clear from the lesson above. How does one distinguish 'from' versus 'with' in such cases?

This is all too difficult for me .  I need to go to day one, very beginning, very basic

Questions including sentenses like "This bedroom is grey. - Yes, it's grey here."  make absolutley no sense to me.

What is "Yes, it's grey here" referring to? The weather, or a completely different bedroom perhaps. 

As I have no idea, I have to quess and and so keep getting the answer wrong.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what the question means by using different words.

Hi, I'm a bit confused if we can use "bon" for a person?

It's from this sentence [Il est très bon] when the "il" refers to Tom Cruise .

Appreciate your help, thanks!

He quit smoking for five months but when the sun returned he started going out again?  Is “when the sun returned” an expression meaning when warm weather returned?

In the conditional phrase in the second sentence, we have "...si je ne voulais pas être père...".  I have terrible hearing, but I thought I heard d'être père.   I know that vouloir does not take a preposition to introduce an infinitive, so I was dubious.  I certainly did not hear an elision of the 's' of pas with être.   Are my ears deceiving me?
