Puzzled about the absence of an accent on cómo? (even after reading your special lesson on como/cómo)A good exercise ! - but perhaps more at B2 rather than B1 level? - [no worries !]
However, I am a bit puzzled by two words (written here in bold letters) in "Aún así no importa como esté el tiempo" - I confess that I thought "cómo" should carry an accent, and that the first two words should be "Aun así ..." [> ? could they be translated as: "In any event, (it does not matter ...)"] - although I do realise that I might not have completely understood the meaning here of "aún".
Thank you Inma; thank you Shui - keep up the good work !

Since I wrote that^ I've been chewing it over, and maybe I can now see an alternative translation which might fit the use of "como" with no accent > ? Something like: "Even with weather like that, there will be nothing to worry about". Perhaps both 'como' and 'cómo' are permissible, but with different meanings?
Let's see -at what moment in time?- you find a good job!
Let's see - at the time that- you find a good job!
As you can see both options work in this context, and I can use lots of examples like this but to understand the difference we need sentences which cannot work as both options

Hi, regarding por meaning “to” here, i searched “por” and found a lesson on “por for general destination”. Would that apply in this case? Gracias, Shirley.
There was no "Play Audio" button in one of the sections.
Judging by an answer provided for a question below, "me gustaria" is equivalent to the three "queria" forms. That's good news because I've been using "me gustaria" most often. Should that be added to the examples in this lesson?
Also, does this lesson imply that the above three forms are more polite than simply "quiero?" I've asked many here in Colombia about this and they all say that "quiero" is much more common than "me gustaria" and not considered impolite. But still, I have trouble making myself say "quiero" so i usually say "me gustaria." Maybe I should start using "queria."
I guess I have a lot of confusion around "quiero" vs. "queria" vs. "gustaria" and their proper grammar and appropriate usage.

Ellas suelen ir al cine los viernes
Usually we use Ellas van, how about this Ellas suelen ir? May I know what is this ir in this case.
Shouldn't it be Quema calorías limpiando, not limpiado?
Is there a rule about when the "o" at the end of the 3rd person has an accent or not? It seemed that when "y" replaces the "i", there's no accent on the "o", but that doesn't work for oyó
EDIT: maybe only after "j" replacement is the "o" without an accent?
