Can u add more like james got the Job thanks

Hi, why in this phrase  (le tatin de légumes) they used ´de and not aux légumes? 

Wouldn’t the translation be 

Cher Matt, chère Kate, je vous manque.

"So that I don't get sunburnt like last time" is "pour que je ne prenne pas de coups de soleil comme la dernière fois" in this exercise. I have two questions on alternative answers. Can we use avoir instead of prendre as the verb here, and is sunburn always plural or can we use it in the singular? (My answer was "pour que je n'aie pas de coup de soleil comme la dernière fois", but seems I was probably wrong on 2 counts?) Thanks.

What would "some teacher" be in french if not -"un professeur"?

If it was "some teachers", It would have been ... something else?

The audio example for « il geint » doesn’t sound like the other -eint verbs (eg il peint), it’s more like "jean". Does the initial g alter the pronunciation?

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See -  https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html

EXCEPTIONS : 

In a quiz my answer to "You [formal] are cold" was "Vous êtes froid" but it was marked wrong with the correct answer supposed to be Vous avez froid.   Contradictions the lesson entirely !
