Many thanks Jim, that helps. I got confused because the subject of the lesson is about adding même and then these two examples don't without any explanation as to why - or perhaps I need to re-visit the basics! So it's because he is talking of/about himself. If he was talking to himself then it would be 'Il aime vraiment parler à lui-même' ? Also, what if he was saying 'He really likes to talk of/about him' ie a third person - what would be the distinction?
Also, since I posted this I've looked at the lesson on stress pronouns and I'm even more confused. This lesson gives the example of 'Je parle de lui - I speak of him'. So would 'Il parle de lui' be 'He speaks of/about him' or 'He speaks of/about himself'? Help!!

“You are reading the instruction manual”. Why should this not be “en train de lire” instead of a present indicative conjugation?
I don't understand why we can't use the
Passé Composéwhen there is no reference to a duration of time. For example "during that year the letters had been sent"??? This sentence seems like it was a one time action. ???
