Audio rewind very much needed

Hi, a “rewind 10 seconds”, or something similar, would add great value to this exercise type. Currently, I need to re-listen to the whole audio just to try to catch a single word I’ve missed (and I need to do this many times).

Possible to add 'autrement' as correct ?

Sinon seems to be the only word accepted for 'otherwise' (as conjunction meaning 'or else') in this exercise. Autrement gets the strikethrough, although Céline gave it the green light in a response previously.

"J'éspère que vous allez très bien"

Why is "que" used in the sentence above rather than "ce que", despite "vous allez très bien" seems much like a fact(though it is a wish)?

Avoir un renseignement Elle me fait du mal quand elle dit ça.She hurts me when she says that.
Hello everyone one, there is little thing I can’t able to understand that is why before « quand » we are not using the preposition « à » when the expression have fixed- faire du mal à. After « mal » there should be a preposition. But in that sentence there is not. Why is it. Thank’s in advance.

Is the sentence "Il s'est excusé pour n'apporter pas ses lunettes" a correct translation of the sentence above, if not, what is the correct one?

“je lui montrerai”To me the “lui” sounds like “lu”. Is this simply how it sounds when spoken in a sentence, and is therefore something I need to try to get accustomed to?

Correction needed to the lesson?

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See - https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html

EXCEPTIONS :

- apparaître (to appear, come to be) and derivatives

Correction needed?In the lesson we are given plural examples and the singular examples are next, so shouldn't "(Note that y can replace plural things too)" be "(Note that y can replace singular things too)"?
