Is "El Día de Año Nuevo" wrong for New Year's Day?

Hi there, in this lesson there are a couple of errors,

In the introduction the sentence "This affects to all subjects" is a little confusing, I think that the "to" has found it's way in.
Secondly, there is no mention of the removal of the letter "i" for the ellos conjugation of the verb. Both examples show that it is gone, but there isn't a note in the lesson.
Thanks

Hello!  I was always taught that "asistir" was a false cognate to "assist" (to aid/help) in English.  My understanding was that "asistir a" means "to attend," either attending an event/school, etc. or to wait on someone.  Can you please clarify whether "asistir" in fact can be used to mean "to assist"?  Thank you!

How does one conjugate the present subjunctive?  

I just started B1 and am being tested on it already without having been introduced to it...?

Thanks!

________ la discusión del otro día, Martín no me dirige la palabra.

Because of that argument the other day, Martin is not speaking to me.

Por eso de

A medida que

Porque de

Así que

Why is "porque de" incorrect?

Not quite sure of the English in the translation - at the bottom a drawer in the chest of drawers.

Do you mean -  in the bottom draw of the chest of drawers?

Hola,

Why is there an 'a' is this sentence? Is suerte considered a 'person' for the personal a to apply or is it an obligatory preposition after tentar?

Gracias,

The article mentions a 'hot air ballon', it should be 'hot air balloon' with double 'o'.

Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around?  By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.

Apparently a verb after "she and I" is conjugated as "we" (nosotros).

This is never really explained, though it appears numerous times in test questions (the explanatory material only re-iterates the original lesson).
