Question: Tu dois te présenter au Consulat Général pour avoir ton visa.

Answer: Tu dois t'y presenter pour en avoir

Why are we replacing ton visa with en and not le. Plzz tell

A 'parlement' was not a parliament; the connection is etymological but not semantic. The latter is a representative national assembly, so you  might risk translating it either as 'assemblée nationale' or 'états généraux', although you start to move into controversial historical territory here! However, a 'parlement' was an entirely different institution: it didn't pass laws, it was a kind of appeal court. The people gathered there were judges, not (elected or nominated) representatives. In addition, the English, the British now UK Parliament is a national institution, whereas there was one 'parlement' for each regional. The 'parlements' were abolished in 1790, so aren't a useful point of reference for contemporary politics. I'd drop it from your list, as retention unfortunately helps this longstanding misunderstanding continue. 

This is the first lesson I've run across that is confusing, so that's pretty darn good!  There are no examples of third person plural except the irregular one, so a novice has no idea what the third person plural rule is for regular verbs.  Please update so make it clear that aient is indeed the ending for regular as well as irregular verbs (maybe by using a regular verb as the example since this page is supposed to be about regular verbs).  Thanks.

Est-ce-que une  moitié toujours feminine parce-que demi n'est pas,

I'm a little confused as to why 'impressionnés' is in the plural. Is this because it is a passive voice?

Merci, Steve

I went through all the same learning route as other students in the Q&A section to this lesson: the difference between un peu and peu for the example with argent from the test, and then why it should be peu d'amis though it is countable, etc, etc. It takes at least 2 approaches to the lesson through the test for an average student to get all the insights and nuances in the Q&A section. I wish all this has been reflected in the body text - it would certainly help to understand the topic better and quicker

What does "kiki" mean?  I understand it in context, but wonder if it has a life of its own.  Thanks.
