"dentro del seno de una familia catolica, (etc)" = within the bosom of a catholic family. Why pare down the literary parts to just the basic meaning of "to a catholic family (etc)"? The "dentro del seno" seems to indicate that he was born into a loving, caring family (O.K. plus wealthy and traditional!). But when we read Cervantes and Shakespeare aren't those literary embellishments what made them classics?

Online tutors...

I'd like to ask if any of the students here have had any online classes with a Spanish Tutor? Now that Kwiziq have partnered with LenguaTalk I've been thinking about having some classes, since I really want and need to start speaking this beautiful language. Until now, I've never felt confident about choosing a company since there are so many.

If anyone one has had any classes: How has your experience been? Is it making, or has it made, a valuable difference in your Spanish language journey? Do you consider it value for money?

I have looked at some of the teachers introduction videos and they all seem lovely people. It's hard to choose out of them all! 😀

We had to wear casco

What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.

You like Marbella = Te gusta Marbella. According to your 'quiz' the answer should be Me gusta - that's wrong

Interesting but . . . maybe you can explain?

Why "cada uno de april" versus "cada primero de abril"? How common is either form?

Why Imperfecto?I don't understand why this is preterito imperfecto. "The little ones ate sweets and sandwiches at the party" does not sound like it's describing a situation. It sounds like an action completed in the past, therefore preterito indefinido. "The little ones were eating sweets and sandwiches at the party" sounds like it's describing a situation - but that's not what the question says.

Future tense vs Conditional tense"Te recomiendo el hotel Urban, donde podrás disfrutar su terraza en la azotea, su piscina abierta en verano y una exposición permanente de arte en el interior. Además, podrías hacer deporte en su gimnasio exclusivo y degustarías platos en su restaurante con estrella Michelín."

In the answer, the first sentence is future tense, but the second sentence is conditional tense? What is going on? Why are not both these sentences either future or conditional?
