“Tu es apparue comme un ange”

For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female

Incomplete lesson?

Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”

Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?

A few queries on this challenge

'I always loved...' Why is it in the past tense and not imparfait in French? I felt it was an opinion. (P.S Found this query very well explained below. So please ignore this part.)

Why is apprendre preferred over étudier?

Extra connecting word in audio?

Hi, in the line “nous avons développé des intérêts communs” I believe I’m hearing a short connecting word/syllable between “intérêts” and “communs”. Am I imagining this?

The sentence " Elle porte aussi des vêtements très originaux" - the word vêtements - sounds like jetements.

soif de lecture

I see that the preferred translation for 'my thirst for reading' is 'ma soif de lecture' but I don't see how this relates to article use. She has a thirst for reading in general / the idea of reading. If she had 'an enthusiasm for reading' it would surely be 'un enthousiasme pour la lecture'. What am I missing?

^ for this sentence, the speaker in the recording is a female voice. Wouldn't it be nouvelle if a woman is speaking?
