Use of avec instead of à

I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?

That was difficult.

Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!

Feedback for this excersise

Hi Kwiziq, please consider not breaking up full sentences. It makes it harder to figure out what's being said because we would have forgotten the context/previous phrase in the sentence/statement. Thank you.

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?

Written v spoken form

is, for example, j'habite (or j'hésite) spelt like that even in written texts? If so why?

Re: setting tart fillings

Looking at several online translators (I do realise they aren’t reliable!) - prendre seems to be used quite often to express set, ie when a partly liquid or wobbly filling is allowed to become more solid by cooling, baking or resting eg "Retirer du feu et laisser reposer jusqu’à ce qu’elle commence à prendre" or "jusqu’à ce que la crème soit bien prise". Is this a recognised usage?

auriez Vous ?? This can't be a B2 exercise

This exercise was way too fast to be B2 as advertised. Also, there is no way the speaker pronounces "auriz-vous." She is saying something else.
