Is it “il  est au Kansas” or “Il est dans le Kansas”

Is there somewhere to view my answers to the written exercises.  I am a bit stumped as I pretty sure I managed (finally) to ace my last effort and would like to compare my responses.Thanks

I'm posting this as a new question as I previously posted it as a reply and I don't think it gets picked up and answered? (See the lesson page for original question and answer)

Many thanks Jim, that helps.  I got confused because the subject of the lesson is about adding même and then these two examples don't without any explanation as to why - or perhaps I need to re-visit the basics! So it's because he is talking of/about himself.  If he was talking to himself then it would be 'Il aime vraiment parler à lui-même' ?  Also, what if he was saying 'He really likes to talk of/about him' ie a third person - what would be the distinction?

Also, since I posted this I've looked at the lesson on stress pronouns and I'm even more confused. This lesson gives the example of 'Je parle de lui - I speak of him'. So would 'Il parle de lui' be 'He speaks of/about him' or 'He speaks of/about himself'? Help!!

So, the first verb aller conjugates as normal, but the second verb does not conjugate, but remains in its original form?

The /d/ in "quand on aura" isn't voiced as it should be, so it sounds like a /t/. I couldn't figure it out because it sounded like 'quan t'en aura" which is nonsense. I think that needs to be re-rcorded so the /d/ is voiced as it should be. It has a distinct un-voiced plosive sound which is misleading.

example from this lesson - Et leurs anniversaires ? - C'est bientôt !
contradicts with example from another lesson about c'est vs il/elle est - Où est ta tasse? Elle est sur la table. (rule: use il/elle est when giving opinions/short statements about specific things.)
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French


leur anniversaires - we are specifically talking about their aniversaries. so shouldn't we use il/elle est ? or maybe ils/elles sont ? 

je chérirai toujours la nuit... why we use futur simple of chérir here?

why are you using mon devoir for homework.   I thought it should always be mes devoirs

I thought adverbs can only modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

How come the adverb 'bientôt' is placed before the nound 'les vacances"?
