In general it would be interesting to know something of the regional identity of speakers. The visit to Barcelona text is uncomplicated but at times it is hard to precisely follow the speaker even after the text has been read - his voicing of llegué just one example. He speaks slowly but would a native speaker be able to identify his accent, more or less?
Is "El Día de Año Nuevo" wrong for New Year's Day?
I used to think Spanish was an easy language, but that was before I actually started learning it earnest.
I am now at 17% in level BI. Although the program reports a steady increase in my confidence, I am hanging onto it by a thread. The difficulty of the language is increasing geometrically.. I don't even want to think about levels B2 and C1

"An impersonal statement in Spanish, e.g. "Es bueno que...", "Es importante que..." can be followed by the infinitive", no está correcta, según se puede leer más abajo en el texto.
This might be way off base, but while "I" (or "yo") is the most common personal pronoun in most all languages, when one combines "it", "he", "she" and "este" etc followed by nouns, the third person singular is the most commonly used conjugation. In Kwiziq quizzes and exercises, it seems that "yo" and "tu" are the ones that show up most often. The exercises would be better if they had a proportional focus on the pronouns/conjugations in line with how frequently they are used in real life.
I answered "alguno," but apparently the answer is "algunos." I don't understand why based on this quote from the lesson. Thanks!
"Sometimes, when alguno and alguna are used in affirmative sentences, it has the nuance of "some random something/someone", "one or two" or "the odd one". The idea is non-specific in number and can refer to one or more items. It does agree in gender but not in number: even if it refers to a plural noun, the pronoun is in the singular form, not the plural form."
Your explanation says that whole hundreds AFTER 200 agree with the noun it precedes, but doesn´t 100 also?
I.e. hay cientas diez chicas?
If not what would be the correct answer?
Un hecho -

Is this course teaching the Spanish spoken in Spain or the Spanish spoken in Mexico?
I am going to Costa Rica. Should I learn to use Vos? Or is it best for non-native speakers to stick to usted and maybe tú?
