Is 'un pique-nique' really a packed lunch in French and not a picnic?  Could you say "J'ai pris un pique-nique au travail" and it means some food that you took from home and ate at work?  I always assumed 'un pique-nique' was really the same as in English, taking food from home to sit and eat outside somewhere in the sun.

For regarde-les I think I hear a liaison which sounds, to an English person something like regar-delay. 

Similarly for verse-les I think I hear a liaison which sounds like ver-selay.

However I don't hear a similar liaison for téléphone-lui or appelle-les.

Is there a rule for when to  liase the final part of a word ending in the letter e?

Hello! In a question the correct answer was "vous répartissez les tâches." and not "répartez" that I wrote because I thought that this word comes from "partir" so they have the same conjugation. My question is: répartir is actually NOT a derivative form of the verb "partir" ? And if there's another word "repartir" (and what is its translation & meaning) without accent aigu that has the same conjugation as "partir". Thanks!
