Robot Voices - Are they getting betterHello 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.
Hola,
Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?
This one to me does not mean 'to want someone to', but 'to want something done'. So I think, 'Todos queremos el problema se resuelva pronto' is enough.
________ la discusión del otro día, Martín no me dirige la palabra.
Because of that argument the other day, Martin is not speaking to me.
Por eso de
A medida que
Porque de
Así que
Why is "porque de" incorrect?

How would you say he/she has?
I’ve read the explanation for the lesson several times but I still can’t understand the answer from the quiz below:
Prompt: No fui al trabajo, ________ sino porque estaba enferma.
I didn't go to work, not because I didn't want to see my boss but because I was ill.
Why is this correct? no porque no quisiera ver a mi jefeWhy is this wrong? no porque no querría ver a mi jefeI am having an extremely hard time telling the difference between "how" I feel and "what" I feel (so I know when to use "sentirse" and when not to use it.)
Also, I don't know how to tell what is an adjective and what is a noun. There don't seem to be standard endings for adjectives. (orgulloso, alegre, frustrado, etc.)
“To another school” is missing in spanish.
________ (Busquemos) un apartamento más grande para los cuatro.
Why does this sentence need a subjunctive (as stated in the hint)?
