I have heard that we shouldn't pronounce the "x" in six and dix before consonants. But in this exercise the "x" is clearly heard in "six mois". Is this correct, and if so is this pronunciation optional before a consonant? (I think I have heard it more frequently like "si-mois")

In the third paragraph beginning, "Dans les décennies qui suivent", the expression "autres" appears without a "d'" or a "des" preceeding it. According to the PwLF lesson, that's incorrect.

I am in the progress of learning French,  I am confused with adverbs of quantity.

Could someone give me the rules to use this?

Please explain the suitable adverbs of quantity suits for the following sentences 

a. Nous avons ____________________ travail a faire ! 

b. Vous achetez _____________________ de romans que vos copains. 

c. Il y a ____________________ étudiants dans la classe. 

d. Helene n’aime pas les fruits, elle prend ____________________ fruits 

e. ____________________ trousses a-t-elle ?

 f. Jean aime les haricots verts ; il mange ____________________ haricots verts que son frère. 

g. Elle n’aime pas le coca ; Elle boit ____________________ coca que sa mère

I was marked wrong for "Audrey adore les mercredis". It wanted "Audrey adore le mercredi". But it appears from the web that both are used, even if the singlar version is more popular.

"J'aime le mercredi" has 232,000 hits

"J'aime les mercredis" has 43,300 hits

So shouldn't this lesson cover the duality and shouldn't the quiz question accept both answers?

Il parle rarement mais il ________ tous les matins.

a) parle a moi

b) me parle 

What is the difference? I choised A but answer is B.

Am I right in thinking that "me" is used indirectly here as there is no agreement with the past participle of dire (dit/e)
