how do I go to the next lesson? After I take my test and check my results I do not see anything except return to the lesson. In the lesson I do not see any way to go to another lesson?

Hola Inma,

1. "hacen diferentes actividades [como]" ...The translation offered was "different activities such as ....": I wrote tal como for "such as" and was marked incorrect. My dictionary gives tal como as "such as / for instance" and this seems to be correct for the sentence. My dictionary gives como as "such as" as well, but with the meaning "similar to."  Would a better translation have been "different activities like ......."?

2. This is about the use of "preocuparse de." The translation offered is "since they look after them at all times." I understood that the use of " preocuparse de" indicates that you worry about something in the way of occupying your mind / concerning yourself, while "preocuparse por" indicates that you may be worried about something or someone. The more research I do on this the more confusing it becomes because "ocuparse de" also seems to mean look after someone, and that seems to be closer to the translation. Either way my suggestion of preocuparse por was marked incorrect. 

It would be great to have some guidance on this.

Saludos. John

Why can't we use 'hecho en casa' for homemade instead of casero/a?

Hola,

I'm intrigued that the threats are interpreted with a question mark, rather than an exclamation mark. Are they interchangeable?

Gracias,

Hola Inma,

I used "planta" rather than "piso," and was marked incorrect. Is there a subtle difference?

Saludos

Sometimes the answers require the feminine 'a' but there isn't any context in the question as to the gender of the subject. 

Unless I'm mistaken, which is highly probable  :)

I was just wondering if there are any new languages planned for release in the near future. I have read (I think it was on Twitter) that German, Italian and Portuguese were potentially in the works.

If so, that would be excellent news, as KwizIQ is definitely one of the best language resources out there!!

“A mis verdaderos amigos los puedo contar”. Is contar like gustar?

Thanks a lot
