First of all I'm not sure of category - should I put it in "Vocabulary" or "Proof Reading"?

To the point - "¿Qué le das a Juan?" - I found it as translation for "What do you give to John?". Is "le" here on purpose, or by mistake?

Yes, that's correct. Here's a great lesson on using indirect pronouns: 2.3 - Parties with Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns

If there is an indirect object, there MUST be an indirect objest pronoun - ALWAYS. I missed this part ;) Thanks. - Behemoth, Oct 19, 2009
