It would be nice to be able to slow down the speed of speech throughout the site. This could be done in 2 ways.
(1) a fast or slow option could be available in the user profile to be toggled at will and would affect all spoken Spanish played aloud
(2) Where ever a speaker icon exists in quizzes, where the individual sentences are played aloud, two speaker icons could be provided, one for slow and one for fast.
It would be soooo helpful

Hola,
Where there is a double vowel, such as leer, is the accent always placed on the second of the two vowels, ie leérmelo, etc?
Gracias,
How many distinct classes of irregular verbs are there in the subjunctive present tense?If it is possible to say, how many distinct irregular verbs that do not belong to a class, such as ir, are there in the subjunctive present tense? Knowing the answers to these questions could help me form a strategy to learn them most effectively and efficiently. I would love to simplify the learning of this topic.
Thank you, James
I used to think Spanish was an easy language, but that was before I actually started learning it earnest.I am now at 17% in level BI. Although the program reports a steady increase in my confidence, I am hanging onto it by a thread. The difficulty of the language is increasing geometrically.. I don't even want to think about levels B2 and C1James
Question re: So as to not fall in the water.
Kwizbot para que no nos caigamos en el agua.You para que no caernos en el agua.
You could also say: para no caernos en el agua.
I was very curious to see that the “que” was dropped in the 2nd answer.
Could you please explain why? And why it is needed in the first sentence and would not be used in my answer.
Thank you so much!

If I say tengo que is this the same as necessito que for example tengo que ir or necessito ir
In the sentence "Él me trata tan especialmente como tú." why is tú used here rather than a ti - Él me trata tan especialmente como a ti. I'm assuming it is the function of the word as which is what here a preposition or a conjunction. As an aside what might be the most accurate English in this sentence, especially or specially?

Here, designed by Gaudí is POR but in the Rioja tourist office exercise :luxurious Marqués de Riscal Hotel whose design is by Frank Gehry
POR is not accepted. What should I note as the important difference?
Some verbs in the preterite indefinido have tildes and some don't. Is there a rule for when they are used or not used, as i'm finding it difficult to remember when to use them?
