What is the function of 'ensuite' in this sentence? It doesn't seem to appear in the translation ' we then rested for a few hours'. Perhaps it should be 'we then rested together for a few hours.'?

I understood ¨pelle¨ as shovel.  Is there no difference?

I'm learning to play the guitar. 

J'apprends à jouer de la guitare.

It's quite difficult because I'm a bit old to start [learning] an instrument. 

C'est assez difficile parce que je suis un peu vieux pour commencer à apprendre un instrument.

I'm happy with my progress, and I hope to continue like this!

Je suis content de mes progrès, et j'espère continuer comme ça !

i understand that it must be sortir de plus place to mean to leave/ go out but what does sortir without de mean and how is it used?

Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait?  "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing.  Isn't that the case for imparfait?

Why does noisette not become plural in this case? I can´t figure this out. I don´t see a double adjective with colors. I also don´t see hazel as a thing like an orange. Maybe that´s what I´m missing.? Is it actually a hazelnut or something? Can you explain this one to me? Thanks so much!

I get a bit confused when, due to the speaker being female, we do/do not add an “e” to the past participle. Here, for instance, I was expecting “vue”.

In the expression, apéritifs dinatoires, is a circumflex needed over the first  -i in dînatoires?
