Is it right that you don't pronounce the 'S' at the end of 'suis' when it's followed by 'à'?

I had thought anytime a vowel sound follows a word ending in 's', you pronounce that s. Like with 'Je dine dans une...'

Pourquoi est-ce qu'il ny a pas un "s" au fin de "Kit-Kat" dans la phrase "Alors, deux McFlurry Kit-Kat...."?

I think faire faire and se faire + infinitif are quite hard for English speakers to get their heads round. Is there a reason that only one of the examples is in the present tense?  Even that one is ambiguous (ils se font couper les cheveux - could be they’re getting their hair cut as we speak or are just about to).

What is the difference between pour and de l'ordre à?

Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"?  The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner. 

Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").

In this sentence where is the "you" as the sentence in English was "or we could give you a refund"? why are these English words just being omitted and how are we meant to know when to omit them?

The French name of the exercise is written as ‘“My” liste de courses’  

THe subjunctive form is "nous ne detestions pas" yet in your exercise you have "nous ne  detestons pas" ??

^ for this sentence, the speaker in the recording is a female voice. Wouldn't it be nouvelle if a woman is speaking?

Beyond the challenging dictée : What a beautiful, inspiring write-up. Falling deeper in love with French culture. Can't wait to google Coluche after supper. Merci!
