Marc aime les film’s dr Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson
I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".
Quand La Premiere Guerre Mondial a-t-elle commence. This seems an awkward construction, but perhaps not. Could one say: La premiere Guerre Mondial quand a-t-elle commence? Please excuse the lack of punctuation.
A couple of the examples appear to use être in constructing the past tense:
Yann est passé par ton quartier
While others use avoir:
Nous avons passé une semaine
"Ginger" can be used as an insult in the UK (sadly), and some would deem it offensive.
Why does "important" and "magnifique" come before the nouns here? -
Usually the adjectives go after the noun.
1. Dominé par une magnifique abbaye construite en l’honneur de Saint-Michel.
2. C’est un important centre religieux.

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.
