Would the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work the same if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?

Hi, the lesson states that 'même si' means 'even if' and 'even though'. There are no example sentences of 'même si' being used in an 'even though' context.

Do I assume that all the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work equally well if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?

About pronunciation

In the audio example of «Mange dans ce restaurant ! Manges-y !»

I head something like

[mɑ-ã-dã ce rɛstorã. mɑ:Ʒ-zi:]

Can I have a comment on it?

"de qui" USAGE.

When the owner is a person, you can alternatively use "de qui" as well as dont:

Les enfants, de qui je connais la maman, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose mum I know, are well behaved.

Can I say that
Les enfants, de qui les pères sont riches, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose fathers are rich, are well behaved

I wish your helps...
Merci beaucoup

My question is: when does one use 'juste' in front of 'au cas où' and when is 'au cas où' used by itself?

On Sundays

One of the questions asks how to translate: "We go to the park on Sundays." When I see the s on the end of Sundays I translate that as a habitual thing this person does every Sunday, a general activity not specific to just this Sunday. I thus translated the sentence without an article in front of dimanche, to show that this isn't in a specific context, the speaker was speaking to a habit. The quiz stated that I should have put an article in front of dimanche. I have re-read the lesson, but still don't understand why I would translate it differently. Please help :).
