I also was confounded about this. Seeing that "bien entendu" usually means of "course", I also thought that parler should have been a participle, which would yield the translation "I had of course talked about this new position". But as I understand "bien entendu" in this case does not translate to "of course" and that "entendu" should be seen in conjuction with "parler" and not as part of the idiomatic expression "bien entendu". Do I make any sense?

I ask because you say "une personne', regardless of whether the person is male or female, whereas it seems that 'fan', on the contrary, follows the gender of the underlying individual - is that correct?

This lesson shows the 2 as interchangeable, but are there situations where one more correct than the other? Why would anyone use the longer one if they're the same?

The learning point says « passer un examen » never means to pass an exam. But one of the correct responses was « il a passé un examen », what exactly does this translate to given it doesn’t mean pass an exam

je veux dire: “I need a teaspoon of milk” = is it “je dois une cuillerée du lait” ? Thanks in advance :) 

The initial examples don't seem to make sense. "The 3rd world" isn't "the 1/3 world". A 3rd person is very different from "a 1/3 person".

So these examples are highlighting differences rather than similarities?

Am I missing something?
