Let's say I am discussing the Japanese in general (not some specific Japanese people) with my friend, and I think they are creative, should I say : Ce sont créatifs or Ils sont créatifs?

« Elle me rappelle Paula. » - She reminds me of Paula.

What would happen if you wanted to replace Paula with a pronoun? -> She reminds me of her.

Is it? - « Elle me lui rappelle. » or « Elle me la rappelle. »

Can you still not say in any context « Elle me rappelle de lui? » (De being forbidden)

In the song "Aux Champs-Élysées" the first line is "Je m'baladais sur l'avenue". 

Is this a specific exception where you can use "sur" instead of "dans"?

Isn’t the pronunciation rather è than é, since ai says è, such as in j’ai and j’aime.

Why are we saying des before a noun followed by an adjective?

While I understand that the phrase: “Où mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?” is technically correct for the exersise,   I am having a hard time mentally processing when I would ever use first-person inversion.  To me, it sounds incredibly snooty and stuck up and something I would never want to suggest that I am. 

Is there a situation I would be inclined to use the first person inversion for asking a question, and why?

The English says "I am an actress" not "I am French", so, I believe, the translation should be "je suis actrice" instead of " je suis française".  Do you agree?  I think it is just an oversight.  Thanks for the story.  Keep 'em coming !

The translationof being an actress is je suis une actrice, pas une francaisee
