emmenager vs demenager? il ya quelques annees vs quelques ans?

Loved this set of weekend workouts!

1. Is there any significant difference between using emmenager & demenager? In my classes, we've usually used demenager for "moving"

2. Why is it 'quelques annees' instead of 'quelques ans'? at Il y a + [durée] = [duration] + ago (French Expressions of Time) , the example is given as Il est venu à Londres il y a cinq ans

"mais la Tour Eiffel s'incline face au vent"

I'm thinking there may be a mistake in the translation of this phrase:

"mais la Tour Eiffel s'incline face au vent"

The translation is given as "the Eiffel Tower tilts into the wind" but this doesn't make sense from a scientific point of view!

Why is there a "DE" before "être" in the sentence "Quelle manque de chance d'être enceinte"?

I assume it may mean "how unlucky of being pregnant" but how do I know to add the " de/d' "

question on grammar explanation

Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."

Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
