I find this lesson very confusing. The first two sections of it seem contradictory. In one example, it says use "rappeler (a quelqu'un) and in the very next one, it says, don't use de, but has eliminated the a. Can you please help me understand the difference?

Is 'un pique-nique' really a packed lunch in French and not a picnic? Could you say "J'ai pris un pique-nique au travail" and it means some food that you took from home and ate at work? I always assumed 'un pique-nique' was really the same as in English, taking food from home to sit and eat outside somewhere in the sun.
