Nickname : "oscense"

It is quite fascinating - and interesting - to learn some of the "nicknames" given to people who live in certain cities - here: Huesca > oscenses. A few of them cannot easily be guessed, such as Huelva > onubenses.

Unexpained les in normal sentence structure3Les _________ que prueben un vino Ribera de Duero. We recommend that you try a Ribera de Duero wine.(HINT: Conjugate "recomendar" in El Presente)Question:When I saw the "les", I had thought that recomendar might have been an inverted verb (like gustar)..... but.... apparently not.So..... why is there a "les"??? Transitive verbs require a direct object pronoun..... but.... les is an indirect object pronoun!recomiendorecomendorecomindorecomendamos

Regarding the lesson, "Some nouns have both genders without a change of meaning"

Regarding this lesson, I do not understand how to choose the correct answer in the question when the lesson says that either gender can be used depending upon some vague circumstances. How can I, the speaker, determine which gender to use? This is a complete mystery to me. Please help.

Thank you, James

escafrandra > escafandra

"... al diseño de una escafrandra estratosférica" misspells "escafandra" [putting in an extra 'r'] - and marks you wrong unless you misspell it in your answer! … It is correctly spelled when used again later in the passage... [I always tick the box: "Send email notifications of new answers" - but never receive any notifications?]

Still confused

In the sample sentences "¿Pudiste contactar con tu abogado?" and "¿Has podido contactar con Gabriel?" are there contextual clues that explain why one is indefinite and the other is perfect? Do they have different meanings?

I have a question about this sentence in the quiz.

"What does "Laura fue actriz cuando era joven." mean?"

When would that sentence be used vs "Laura era actriz cuando era joven."

Thanks, K

Verb translation

Verb translation. According to my Spanish dictionary, the verb "colgar" means to hang whereas "upload" is cargar. I used the latter verb, because the sentence is "... I will upload a photo on my social networks." Why was my response marked incorrect?
