________, donde tú vives ¿hace mucho frío

Extremely poor designation on this question! Either Ahí or Allí should be accepted since there is no way of knowing the even approximate distance by stating "phone conversation." A phone conversation can be held between people living in the same city, in which Ahí would be appropriate, or in another country, in which case Allí should be used.

gustar - form of the verb

If you translate "gustar" with "please" it becomes much easier to understand:

Le gustan mujeres: him please women - women please him - he likes women

It's not a question, it's a way to understand that - in this case - mujeres is the subject and decides the form of the verb

If this is Europe-focused, how do Latin American Spanish speakers talk about weather?

I currently am focusing on Latin American Spanish, specifically Mexican Spanish / Californian. What are the differences in vocabulary?

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?]

debido a que vs. que

Didn't we learn in another lesson that we could substitute "que" for "porque"? Does that mean "debido a que" and "que" are also interchangeable via the transitive property? I feel like either I am misremembering or there are some nuances I'm not picking up on.
