Me gustaria saber mas sobre el uso del verbo ECHAR. Hay muchas oraciones con este verbo en el articulo. Gracias!

An interesting read-along but the speed was a little difficult to keep up with as I tried to sort out new vocab. Is it posssible to slow it down as on Youtube with a .75 or Normal choice of speed? That'd really be helpful to read along at the slower speed first time through, then go back and sort out the new vocab with the pop-ups (I figured how to do that in MS Word, today, but Heaven knows how you do it on a web-site!) It's a pity that the audio has so much reverberation/echo popping in and out on stereo which makes it difficult as well. But, still the best listening/read-along exercises anywhere.

The use of otorgar seemed a little strange to me; would entregar or dar also be suitable in the context?

What is a pisco sour?

Is there a way to eliminate vosotros from lessons and quizzes? It's not something I've ever studied or used.

Apropos of ' "Lo que" vs "la cosa que" ',   I sometimes see "cosa que" used to mean "which", as in 

    Querían detenerme por robo, cosa que no hice.

Is this usage correct?   If so, is there a lesson that discusses it?

More examples here:

Thanks!

I wonder if the English translation is incorrect (specifically, the "to go"), because the Spanish sentence has no "ir" in it. Instead, there is "saltar" which the English does not seem to consider.

The "this may be closer to latin amercian spanish" warning came up in this exercise, for a part of the text given as a hint!

"A las cuatro, tengo entrenamiento de fútbol."

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?
