Does this mean I would never use EL or Un with Te?

Thank You

Hi,

I find some of the recorded examples too fast to clearly hear the pronunciation. Is there a way of slowing it on replay?

This leads to another question: when Spanish is spoken quickly, can some of the sounds be omitted or words run together.

Thank you.

Shouldn't the first answer be Estoy deseando, not Tengo qanas de?

¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? as written above is (according to my teacher from South America who speaks a high standard of Latin American Spanish) not a proper way to ask about the weather. He suggests ¿Cómo está el tiempo hoy?  which is consistent with other translators I've found. I am no longer confident about the level of Spanish being taught in this program. Are the instructors native speakers who learned in their native countries?

Una pared de mi habitacion es rosa.   I thought that walls and rosas had to agree in number?  Adjective agrees with the noun in number??  I am new at this, so sorry if it sounds very elementary.

Thank you.

    Pass me that [thing] which there next to you please.

    (HINT: Use the correct word for "that" acting as a direct object)

With "lo" (the correct answer was "eso").   And "lo" still seems correct to me without context.  IE "Pass me that which is next to you please." or something like that.   I think the import of the lesson is that, in cases where "the thing" has been previously mentioned, "eso" or "ello" is more correct. 

  
Here are my questions, assuming I've got the idea right about the eso/ello usage above ;-) :

  
1. Should the question provide the context ?   IE "HINT: Use the correct pronoun for something mentioned previously acting as a direct object." 

  
2.  Either way, isn't the question a little weird?   I mean, if we already talked about the thing, why would I also specify its location?   I mean, wouldn't I just say "Pass me that thing (we talked about), please" ?  
Thanks!
