Quelques/ des and un peu de

The lesson says quelques can translate as "some" and I’d be interested to know the situation in which you’d use it rather than "des"? Does it emphasise the quantity more?

Confusing Sometimes when to change the definite article in "avoir besoin de"

I understand when to use "de" as well as "de l" for vowels, however i also noticed sometimes "du" gets used which is confusing. Came across one of the posts by Tom in the comment section: j'ai besoin de soutien - I need support (general)

J'ai besoin du soutien du gouvernement - I need government support (specific)

How come this is still correct which still contains the word "support" with a different article: j'ai besoin d'un soutien financier and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien financier,

This actually confuses me the most:
j'ai besoin de soutien and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien. Last i checked, le soutien est masculin.

Pronunciation of wordThe pronunciation of the first words in this story " Il faut absolument..." I think are pronounced wrong. It sounds like Elle faut. Thank you Nancy

An Interesting Dictée !

From slamming all our money to earning decently our crust, from putting butter in our spinach to sea urchins in our wallets, not to mention pierced baskets, silver spoons and more - we sure have learnt a lot of strange and bizarre new things in this very 'different' dictation this week. Hahaha. Thanks.

se trouver

(l'opera) dont le sujet se trouve être un soulevement (des Napolitians contre leurs opresseur) ...how does this translate I wonder...seems like too many words to me...? The opera in which the subject finds themselves/him/itself being an uprising the neapolatians against their opressers...? Shouldn't it be: The opera in which the subect finds themselves in an uprising...A against B?

Very grateful for a better translation of this sentence!
