No matter what I do, which speaker/earphones I use, or how many times I switch the playback on my system the sound file examples SIMPLY WILL NOT PLAY. I may as well be reading a textbook and practicing mispronunciation. If I use ANY other site, including the Lawless Spanish site, ALL sound clips play with NO issues whatsoever. I bought this system with a two-year subscription. It has been a useless and costly mistake without being able to actually hear how to correctly pronounce anything. Does anyone else have this problem?

is this correct

How do you know whether or not an adjective goes before or after the noun? 

This sentence was considered correct:  

Tu es apparue comme un ange.

But that doesn't that assume we know that the subject is female?  If we don't know, why isn't it Tu es apparu comme un ange.

Why is it c'est here and not il?
Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, c'est très joli! 

We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats! 

Why is it "du" and not "des"?

"ce sont des filles"

The vocab list for Vive les legumes has pumpkin as une citrouille, yet it was marked incorrect with les potirons as the correct answer. Where did I go wrong? Thank you
