I am going to see with Julie . . .

Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .".

It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English.

"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc

using appellerAm I correct in thinking that you can use "Comment tu t'appelles?" or "comment t'appelles tu?" I was taught both of these in school.

hot / cold / sunny

Dear Matt, dear Kate, I miss you

Wouldn’t the translation be

Cher Matt, chère Kate, je vous manque.

Vous a-t-il appelé

I was wondering why it wasn't Vous a-t-il appelée - because Emma is feminine ?

Re: food shopping in Canada

Would it be possible to adapt this lesson for those living in Québec? Here, they would use the phrase "faire son épicerie"?
