My computer is not allowing me to type the cedilla. So I am getting all these wrong!
Merci pour cette exercise. C’est un bon exemple d’un format d’argument. J’ai beaucoup appris de cela. : )
Would not "préparez un bol de bouillie be acceptable?
Normally when you explain how a verb works, you give examples of every ‘person’ - 1st, 2nd & 3rd in both singular and plural. In this example you have not listed the 3rd person plural and I think it might be an oversight: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/results/18797378/system?quick-lesson-popup=2
My quiz has the answer for this as "Vous vous êtes caché dans le placard" I don't understand why it is cassé and not cassés . I know agreement for reflexives can be complicated but this doesn't seem to be one of those cases.
I am struggling to work out what the "en" refers to. I presume it is "of something", but can't work out what (or where the "of" comes from) - the sentence seems to work equally well without it.
In the last sentence, "Bien que la nature soit l'élément principal dans mes projets artistiques, mon but est d'amener les gens à faire une pause, à réfléchir et à ressentir des émotions à travers mon travail.", the verbs amener à and inciter à were accepted for ”to get”. I tried persuader de, which was not accepted. Should it be a possibility ?
Bonjour! I am a bit confused about the example without à. In what context would you skip it? Merci!
The two answers so far have differing advice. Could Cécile comment please?
Laura Lawless’s explanation seems to accord with Alan’s - se parler is one of "20 verbs for which the reflexive pronoun is always an indirect object" (That is, they’re talking to each other, not talking each other, and parlé is invariable.)

Bonjour,
In the dictation, why does it say, "l'appart EN colocation" (shared appartment) and why not "l'appart DE colocation"?
