Can you say 'd'après la célèbre comptine'?

Pourquoi pas je me suis matée? C'est une femme qui parle. 

In a previous lesson, J’allais + infinitive = was going to _ . This example that is captioned, is translated as ‘ I was enrolling at university’ instead of ‘I was going to enroll’. 

Dans la phrase "Mais s'il vient du Québec, d'Alberta ou de Manitoba par exemple...", on utilise du Québec mais d’Alberta, au lieu de de l’Alberta et aussi de Manitoba au lieu de de la Maintoba.   Ça semble un peu contradictoire.   Pouvez-vous me l’expliquer ?   Merci, en avance. 

My question is about:Que dessinent les enfants ?What are the children drawing?, given in the examples;Could you also say, "Que dessinent-ils les enfants?" ?

Je suis un peu perdu. Pourquoi la texte utilise 'souhaitez' et pas 'souhaiteriez'? J'ai vu que cette texte traduire comme 'What time would you like this call?' 

Hi.

I tried some A1 listening today after long time. I was shocked that I couldn't catch what the child was saying. When said says - Le mélange mousse...i heard something entirely different. Wonder if anyone else faced this. I worry about my listening skills a lot anyway.

When should we use "y" and when should we use là for places

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

J'aime beaucoup cette video. Merci beaucoup
