Pronunciation of g

I hear « réguliers « with a soft g sound as in ange , instead of a hard g as in guerre. Is this a particularity of accent?

What’s the difference?

Looking back through the Quick Lesson and the accompanying discussion I still can’t tell the difference between “none arrived” and “no one arrived”. Aren’t they just two ways of saying the same thing? (Albeit, the second being my preference.)

Spelling - hanoukia or hanoukkia?

In the exercise "Hanoucca dans ma famille (Vocabulaire)", it is spelled "hanoukkia" with two k's. Are both spellings correct, or just one? Thank you!

Avoir besoin de in different tenses

I assume that the avoir aspect of the sentence also changes with tense for example:

Imparfaite =J'avais besoin de= I have needed

Future= J'aurai besoin de= I will need

Passe compose= J'ai eu besoin de= I needed

Plus-que-Parfaite= J'avais eu besoin de= I have had needed

etc.

Is this correct?

Alternate answers within the exercises

One of the things I love about Progress with Lawless French is that in the Written and Dictation exercies, alternate answers are given so you can learn all the different ways to express a given passage. What I don't like, however, is that when a result comes up "Your answer matched mine", no alternate answers are given. I really miss that extra chance to expand my French that is provided in the alternate answers.

"Red-haired" and "redhead" are better than "ginger"

"Ginger" can be used as an insult in the UK (sadly), and some would deem it offensive.
