What is the necessity and meaning of "dessus" after tomber?  Why not just "bonnes choses vous tombent"?  Good things fall on you

I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.

 Looking for more detail on these verbs, I couldn't find ANY French verb conjugation sites that conjugated verbs like AMUSER, MAQUILLER, REPOSER, or even DÉCÉDER with ÊTRE. They all use AVOIR. Why is that?

I put Ils me manquaient quand ils étaient partis  but the answer given is Ils m'ont manqué quand ils étaient partis. 

I thought it would be imparfait because I was in a state of missing them all the time they were absent.

I looked up rewarding on Google translate and it was enrichissant?????

Why "Après manger" and not "Après mangé" or "Après avoir mangé".

Hi, I have played "J'en vaux vraiment la peine !" a number of times and it sounds like she is saying "vous" and not "vaux" - it sounds like "vaux" in "Tu vaux mieux que ça !"  - can you please confirm if it is right or wrong?

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.
