pronunciation question

In the example sentence "Le meilleur élève parle mieux français que moi." it really sounds to me like parle mieux becomes par lemieux, with the lemieux being very distinct. I've seen that before. Is there a reason for it?

des = de + les

What are the grammatical terms (names) and usage for DES = DE + LES, on one hand, and DES as a partitif and DES as a normal plural article on the other hand?

Pensez-vous que

One sentence for translation states: Do you think the problem is structural? Of the possible translations: " Pensez-vous que ce soit" and another "Vous pensez que c'est". One is in the subjunctive and the other is in the present. Why use the present in the second?

McFee Spam

Thought you should know. I have twice tried to go on to the website suggested in the video and both times have been exposed to what I think is a scam. A realistic, but I think, false website appears for McFee virus security, and offers subscription at a lower price than going to the real website offers. Think your techies might need to take a look.
