pronunciation of 'est-elle nu?'
Is the 's' in 'est' to be pronounced here? It sounds odd to me.

@james.newling : no, the 's' should not be pronunced, except when 'est' is not 3rd person of the verb "être" but the lace when the sun rises (=east). So, there is a mistake here that I duely reported. @siebolt: 'est-elle' (pronunced 'ettel') means 'is she', if you want to mean 'she is naked', you must add 'nue'. @james.newling: 'plus' is pronunced 'pluss' when it is by itself (plus/moins = plus/minus) ; 'pluz' in front of a vowel ('plus agé' = older) and 'plu' in front of a consonant ('plus vieux' = older).
