Hi Jamie - I too have noticed that issue, not from previous learning but from additional study material I'm using and conversations with native French speakers I know. I was told that the inversion technique you mentioned is the one more commonly used by most native speakers, because it's simply less cumbersome to say (the way we say 'We're going to dinner' way more often than 'We are going to dinner' - both are correct though, right). But I was assured the way Fluenz is teaching is correct and understandable to any French speaker. I also have not too much faith in Google translate for more than simple words or short phrases.
