I make up the following, but I can't find the answers online. Are "moi" and "toi" correct here? If yes, is there an explanation why "me" and "te" are not used here?

Give it to me! = Donne le moi!

Give it to you? = Donne le toi?

Give it to him/her! = Donne le lui!

Give it to us! = Donne le nous!

Give it to them! = Donne le leur!

what should we use with piscine sur or dans

Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?

In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?

To be sure, a romantic image !  I had a little problem with the female voice , which is normal for me because of loss of hearing in the higher frequencies.   That is not a complaint.  Today, I decided to listen again after completing the exercise, this time without translating in my head.  It was slow enough that I could do that with ease.  It seemed like a breakthrough!   I think I will continue with this approach. 

In the context of this lesson, 'remind [someone] of [someone or something]' means 'put unwittingly [someone] in mind of the subject's resemblance to [someone else or something else]'. The meaning in French, although the grammatical construction is different from English in terms of direct and indirect objects, is the same as this.

But what about the alternative English usage 'remind of' meaning 'cause consciously [someone] to remember to give attention to [a person or thing]'. Often this is expressed in a sentence such as "Jack reminded me that my uncle is coming next week", but could be shortened to "Jack reminded me of [or about] my uncle's visit".

How would the last sentence be translated?

Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?

Il a vu ________ de ses amis, mais pas l'autre.He saw one of his friends, but not the other.

The last sentence is Elle n'en croira pas ses yeux!  Why is "en" used in this context?
