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).
is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?
If not, why not?
If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?

The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.
In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.
Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct.
This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".
If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
You show the flag mounted with both the blue side and the red side against the flagpole. This is clearly incorrect.
I don't understand why "Pour être riche, il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent" is wrong? Any ideas, please.
