Spanish language Q&A Forum

How would I say someone else is doing something to another person and not themselves? Like if my mom is a hair stylist and she's combing someone else's hair.  Like in "Mi madre se peina el pelo con un cepillo nuevo." Would I need to put something like "el pelo de la mujer" or with the personal a like "el pelo a la mujer" 

Hello all,

Not so much a question, but an observation.  When you click on the little speaker symbol at the end of a Spanish sentence, the robot voice has a go at reading it out.
There seem to be three or four different robots now, when I started with Kwiziq I think that there were only two.
I call them

"Mateo" - he's the "good" Spanish man, his reading seems to be quite good. Some UK users here may know why I call him Mateo.
"Marisa" is the older sounding lady, sometimes it sounds like she struggles, and is nowhere near as good as a human, and sometimes sounds both angry and bored.
A new lady, "Maria" seems to have come along as I have moved into B2 Lessons, she sounds younger and to me much better.

So what do people think of our robot voices?  If it was possible I'd ask for "Maria" to kick Marisa to the kerb, as her Spanish sounds more fluent to me.
Buenos días.

Hello, in this listening exercise, the pronunciation of the word "celebran" is helebran or similar, is this common?  Thanks

"Cada verano en Carballiño, Galicia, el segundo domingo de agosto celebran la feria del pulpo"

Just a reminder that " sé" is also the affirmative imperative form of "ser" for "tú".

Ex: ¡Sé muy lista!

(Hope to save people having to look it up.)

Why is it: 

Esta oscuro, esta sol, esta hublado,esta nevando,

 but 

hace calor, hace frio,hace viento ?

II want to know the name of the wordthat goes with haber to form phrases dado estado etc

I put le invité. Is that also correct?

UPDATE: I intentionally picked the wrong answer this time and was sure of it but it said I picked the right one. This is not a coincidence. There is a bug that is switching the selections and recorded answers. Please look into this. It happens a lot. I don't want to keep marking it every time it happens.

----

I've picked the right answer multiple times but it keeps marking it wrong. I know I'm selecting the right answer because it has happened five times. This wasn't just a possible error.

I've noticed this bug before on other answers but just told myself that perhaps I accidentally selected the wrong one. This time, it has happened too many times (in a row) to be my selection. I KNOW which one I am supposed to pick.

I select "poca enfadada" and it tells me I picked "poco..."

Again, I could see if I made a mistake once, but this many times in a row is not possible. One of the times the answer was on the screen at the bottom when I submitted the test so I was looking right at it, then seconds later it is my only error and tells me I selected somethign else.
