In the song "Aux Champs-Élysées" the first line is "Je m'baladais sur l'avenue". 

Is this a specific exception where you can use "sur" instead of "dans"?

Isn’t the pronunciation rather è than é, since ai says è, such as in j’ai and j’aime.

Why are we saying des before a noun followed by an adjective?

While I understand that the phrase: “Où mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?” is technically correct for the exersise,   I am having a hard time mentally processing when I would ever use first-person inversion.  To me, it sounds incredibly snooty and stuck up and something I would never want to suggest that I am. 

Is there a situation I would be inclined to use the first person inversion for asking a question, and why?

The English says "I am an actress" not "I am French", so, I believe, the translation should be "je suis actrice" instead of " je suis française".  Do you agree?  I think it is just an oversight.  Thanks for the story.  Keep 'em coming !

The translationof being an actress is je suis une actrice, pas une francaisee

Salut,

Pourquoi on utilise "se faire" au lieu de qqchose d'autre dans la phrase suivante: 

Il faut qu'on se fasse une soirée films ...

Merci!

What time does apres-midi change to soir?  When I was in West Africa and Haiti it was anytime after 12 noon, but I got those answers wrong.  I did not see a definition in the lesson.  Thanks :)

Are both correct?
