Is there a rule for using liaison after "mais."I hear the different usages of liaison with "mais" before words beginning with a vowel. In your video "La Bretagne se révèle en Côtes d'Armor" the speaker sometimes uses it and sometimes does not before the same sound, making her difficult to understand. Is it simply facultative or is there more to it. Thanks.

Translation of cookies

My dictionary gives 3 translations for cookie : biscuit, petite gâteau, and gâteau. I chose to use petit gâteau, which was marked incorrect. Since I can't see the cookie and don't really understand if there is a difference, perhaps according to shape or size, could someone elaborate on the nuances? I have gotten into trouble with this with my friend, who is a native French person, when I used biscuit for cookies that she prepared. Apparently, there is some disfunction unknown to me.

Why do we say à la semaine prochaine, but we say prochaine juin? Why does prochain come after “week” but before a certain month?

aimer = love or like?I used to be on Duolingo, and whenever this question came up, the experts always said "aimer means love for people&pets, like for things". Laura Lawless' article agrees, with examples like "Aimes-tu le tennis? Oui, j'aime ça - Do you like tennis? Yes, I like it". But this lesson has aimer=love even for things. What am I to believe?
