"Everyone" vs "every one"I think that English speakers get confused between "everyone" and "every one". Perhaps this lesson might include usage of the phrase "tout en chacun"?

I speak of herI'm confused why "I speak of her" is "Je parle d'elle" as my first instinct would be to say "je l'en parle". What am I missing here? Thanks.

There is a question in one of the tests. Where is qui is not accepted as the answer . Why so?The question is pasted below. Why the answer should be Qu'est-ce qui and not qui while in the lesson both are used interchangably. ____________________vous avez envie de revoir ? Who[m] do you want to see again?

C'est une voiture d'occasion?- Non, elle ou c'est...Shouldn't the second sentence in this example read, Non, c'est neuf or Non, c'est nouveau, with a masculine adjective?

Is "de" or "d' " used before Ouagadougou?The pronunciation of the capital of Burkina Faso starts with a "w" sound, so I'm wondering if one says DE Ouagadougou or D'Ouagadougou. The word begins with a vowel (well, three actually!), but since the pronunciation is not of the 'o' sound, I'm wondering if 'de' is used. Thanks for your help!
