Why is it essaye de when all the other verbs aren't followed by de? Also, why not essaie?

I am sorry to raise this, but I am afraid that I found the pronunciation of this phrase very difficult.

Even having seen the answer, I still could not reconcile the two.   "le temps" I managed to translate initially when hearing it as "longtemps", but seeing the correct answer and re-running the sound clip again and again, the closest I could get was "l'eau temps" and certainly not "le temps".

I recognize that there are many different ways of pronouncing things, but I do feel that in a dictation the diction should be clear.

The translation for "the latest season" is given as "la dernière saison." When reading the grammar lesson for dernier, I thought this would mean the final season of the show (i.e. the show has concluded and they are not planning to produce anymore seasons). 

I had interpreted "the latest season" to mean the most recent (i.e. previous) season, so I used "la saison dernière" but this was marked incorrect.

Can someone explain further? Thanks!

"N'importe quoi" is a colloquial, it means nonsense or bs! Not the right or natural way of saying whatever. This is incorrect. The correct way to say is "Peu importe".

I put the first as my answer to the question but was flip flopping between the two in the text box. Is the reason I got it wrong because there is no context to use "lui?" is there a context where "lui" would be correct?

thanks!

I am struggling to work out what the "en" refers to. I presume it is "of something", but can't work out what (or where the "of" comes from) - the sentence seems to work equally well without it.

How do you express walking fast for exercise, pas comme une promenade.  

bonne chanson pour pratiquer mon orale et diction.
