About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'. 

I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.

Can i say ‘vous allez devoir trouver’ ?

The difference is the same as in English: une glace de marrons -- an ice cream made from chestnuts (the main ingredient is chestnuts)

une glace aux marrons -- an ice cream made with chestnuts (chestnuts are not the main ingredient)    

This nuance wasn't clear from the lesson above. How does one distinguish 'from' versus 'with' in such cases?

when writing about being somewhere, when do you use à and when do you use de? 

Are there any other times apart from the negative (saying you don’t have any), when de is used eg d’huile, de pan. I know we say de also before plural nouns with an adjectives preceding the noun 

When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.

Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?

I had other mistakes in the sentence about the river Alzette, but the translation didn't include the word beautiful. Was there a reason to leave that out?
