Is there a reason why this is the only verb that conjugates like this?

Is this right

Les nouveaux voisins sont arrives.

Les nouvelles voisines sont arrives.

This lesson is very difficult to understand

Unlike other explanatory lessons in Lawless French, I find this lesson incredibly difficult to understand.(And. I think I'm a decent student!) I'd like to recommend that you all give it a big cleansing edit. And now, I'll go back and re-read it (for about the fourth time) and try to figure out what I'm supposed to learn.

Example "Nous étions restés bons amis..."

Regarding this example:

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il la rencontre.We'd remained good friends, until he met her.

...should it not be

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il l'a rencontrée.

...?

Il ne joue pas souvent au foot, et toi ? -Je n'y joue pas souvent non plus.

Why is there a y there?

Limits of Rien!In all your examples "rien" is always at the end of sentence. Can you add clause(s) after "rien". For example: "C'est mon film policier préféré. Il n'est rien comme les films policiers modernes parce qu'il n'y a pas de poursuites en voiture à grande vitesse et personne n'est tué jusqu'à la dernière scène.

ClarityI think that your examples might be clearer if you divided them into three parts groups than two: 1.Supplemental Group Do you have /another/some other/ idea(s) (as well)? 2.Different Group I would like to try /a different/some other/ jumper(s) (in stead). 3.Desciptive He speaks about France and /about other/ countries.
