Other adjectives?You write "Note that THESE adjectives ending in -u become -üe". So does this only concern exactly these three adjectives or are there others? Is it a general rule for adjectives on -u or are these exeptions?

I don't understand the rule about ordering object pronouns So I understand that object pronouns go in front of the verb but I just don't "get" the rule. So I know Je lui ai parlé. = I talked to him. But can someone point me at an explanation of this rule?

Subject vs object ...I found the lesson confusing as well as the answer to this question. Je (subject) regarde (object) un film object, why was (un film) the subject. Also in the lesson its informs us that the "subject" can be replaced with with a "pronoun" , and then proceeds to replace the "object" with a "Pronoun. I do not comprehend why I am wrong."

Nouvel vs nouveau

Why is it "je suis nouveau ici" instead of "je suis nouvel ici"? I thought it was nouvel before a vowel.

Pronunciation of "t" in "C'est à moi"Why does the pronunciation accompanying this lesson not pronounce the "t" in "C'est à moi"? I have another French language program (and a French speaking daughter) which does pronounce it. Is this possibly a regional difference? Which is correct in formal Parisian French?

mon/ma

Hi, why is it “avec mon amie, Annie”?

Annie is a woman, so shouldn’t it be “avec ma amie, Annie”?
