Visiteur/ visiteuse

I have a gap in knowledge here, as "visiteuse" is a form I hadn’t encountered before. Is it always used for female visitors?

avoir du mal a

I'm not sure why is not an acceptable way to express struggle. From Le grand Robert:

 II   V. intr. (Fin XIe). Se donner de la peine, du mal*. ➙ Appliquer (s'), efforcer (s'), évertuer (s'), fatiguer (et se fatiguer), gémir (fig.), trimer (fam.) ;→ 1. Coût, cit. 27 ; élite, cit. 5. Peiner comme une bête (cit. 11) de somme, comme un forçat… Peiner jour (cit. 42) après jour. —  Élève qui peine sur une composition (cit. 8) latine (au sens III, 2, de peine). Il peinait pour s'exprimer (→ Facilement, cit. 3). —  Par ext. Respiration, souffle qui peine (→ Oxygène, cit. 3).

Nulle part

Il y a des fleurs partout.

Négation : il n'y a de fleurs nulle part.

Ou - il n'y a pas de fleurs nulle part.


Aussi 


Je fais du jogging. Négation : je ne fais pas de jogging ou je ne fais pas du jogging.

Dans cette phrase, est-ce que du est articles partitives ou contractés ?

et je passerai le reste de ma vie à faire tout mon possible

In the phrase,  "et je passerai le reste de ma vie à faire tout mon possible", instead of 'ma vie', I'm pretty sure he's saying 'la vie'.

“Mais la ville essaie de prendre des initiatives écolos.”

In the audio for “Mais la ville essaie de prendre des initiatives écolos.” it sounds to me like a conjugated “prend” (i.e. silent “d”, so sounds like “pren”), instead of the infinitive “prendre”.
