Sorry if I’m being thick, but could someone please explain what the following mean:  than"]">   as"]">   and    que"]">   at the head of each grammar explanation in the sidebar of the lesson?

One of the sentences for translation would not play so I had to leave it blank and continue.

This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?

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

The hint that is given first has cinque with lowercase, but when I used that I got it wrong. 

Please could you add the term 'kernel' or 'stone' to your translation of 'noyau' ('pit')? This would be helpful for UK learners.

Why is "pouvoir" before "les utiliser" in the fourth sentence? The English to be translated was just "in order to use".
