My translating tool says that "des patins à parquet" are "floor gliders."  Anyone have any idea what kind of shoes they might be?

This may have been touched on already: 

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !

The bot marked "lave-linge" as incorrect, but according to the Larousse dictionary or good old Google exists as well.

That would literally translate to “chose a service punctual or regular.” Why isn’t instead “ponctuel et régulier?”

The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.

How do I know when to use lequel versus quel

Is not prendre in the imperative in "Tiens, prends leur numéro de téléphone" in which case shouldn't the 's' be dropped in prends ?

In the passage, " ... and Lisa fills the washer dryer.", you should say that Lisa fills the dryer.  A washer-dryer is usually a stackable set of machines with the washer on bottom and the dryer on top, although it can also be one integrated machine.  In this exercise, Lisa is clearly loading the dryer.  We would only say that she is loading the washer dryer if she is loading both machines.
