In the lesson: Raise your hand please, I used votre main since clearly another person is involved, the one telling someone else to raise her hand. Why is la main the correct usage? Thanks much.
Listening to the pronunciation of verbs like appeler in the first and second person plural, I don’t here any separate syllable in the verb where the single “l” is. , as in vous appelez, or nous appelons. It’s as if the “e” is simply omitted and the word is pronounced like “ applez” and “applons”. This is much more obvious with the female voice than the male. Could you clarify the pronunciation please?
For "they always made me feel" the answer is "ils m'ont toujours fait" which is passé composé. Seems to me this is a continuous action in the past so it should be the imparfait "ils me toujours faisaient."
Why past tense is used here? Why shouldn't be present tense as she still like playing the instrument at present time.
Les deux loup garous regardèrent l´un l´autre longtemps, avant d'attaquer !
Why is this answer wrong? I understand we can use "se regarder", which is the accepted answer, but I don't understand why this other option is not accepted (it's from a dropdown where options both were present).
''Tom et Paula se sont embrassés devant le miroir.'' can mean:Tom and Paula kissed each other in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed him in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.

2/ Nous avons froid quand l'hiver vient
What I don't understand is that I was marked wrong for choosing the literal translation (which you provided in the lesson itself) rather than I don't mind. That doesn't seem right. Particularly when initially learning an idiom, the literal translation helps one to remember the indirect object. If one is only allowed to choose one answer, then you shouldn't offer two that are correct. At the least, why didn't you mark my answer as "parital"?
