Incomplete lesson?

Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”

Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?

dont vs. duquel

In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel, referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility. Why not?

Missing Word In Audio

At the beginning of the second sentence the word "BASTIEN" is in the text, but it is not in the audio. All of the other sentences have the characters' name in both the text & the audio.

Placement of "en" in conversational past

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".

Meaning of "Bien Avoir"

Although, the meaning of "bien avoir" can be surmised from the context, I still wanted to do some research. I was unable to find any information in Collins Dictionary, LaRousse or even Reverso.

I take it, "Tu m'as bien eu !" to mean something like, "You really fooled me!"

Does anyone have any insight into this particular phrase?

Merci a tous ! This was a fun little story.

Is this a correct way to introduce myself?

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Khyatee, mais je me fais appeler Kat.

I believe it's right but I'm not sure how to specify that Kat is a nickname/preferred name.
