"Ce que j'aime le plus au mois de juin, c'est me la couler douce"   - is "la" a substitution for la vie here?

Why is it not “avant le dîner” in both examples? In the example with Je doit it’s just avant dîner. 

This isn't really about the lesson per se, but two English-language books about DeGaulle: Julian Jackson "De Gaulle" & Jonathan Fenby "The General, Charles DeGaulle & the France He Saved" are fascinating character studies & well worth the read. 

The man that Churchill once described to FDR as "our mutual headache", c'était vraiment un homme compliqué.

Bonjour, je ne peux pas utiliser les accents sur mon claviers

Think I've grasped qui v que (the youtube video v helpful) but am struggling with when to drop the e or i before a vowel. Any advice please?

Just done a test when one answer was ce qu'est and this one below:

Can someone please help me figure out why the correct answer to "Savez vous . . . s'est passé" is "ce qui" and not "qu'est ce qui se passé"? I thought the latter meant "what happened?" 

Thanks! 

In the end-of-lesson full text to read and listen to the first sentence of the text reads "J'adore habiter au..." but the audio says "J'aime habiter dans la...".

How do you know 'lui' in the instance below is a woman?

Il n'avait jamais pu lui avouer la vérité?

What accent does Simon have? I thought his “enchanté” and “française” sounded like “ench-in-té” and “fr-in-çaise”, and his “viens” sounded like “viennent”.
