Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct? 

Thanks a lot,

Shirley. 

'He recommended (to me) investing in the stock market'

I put  'me ha recomendado que invertiera en bolsa'  recomendar + imperfect subjunctive.

This was marked wrong and the only alternatives shown being recomendar + infinitive  'me ha recomendado invertir en bolsa'

Why can't I use the subjunctive here?

Gracias

hi,

there are thousands of taxis with which you can move around the city,

hay miles de taxis con los que puedes moverte por la ciudad,

can por la ciudad be replaced by en los alrededores de la ciudad?

Let me know = can we use hacer saber?

I'm a bit confused on when to use hacia vs. para for "toward" a destination?  Two of the introductory examples in this section indicate para can be used for "to/toward".  One of these examples is "Vamos para la playa porque hay una fiesta".   Would it be incorrect to say "Vamos hacia la playa porque hay una fiesta"?   My sense is that "hacia" means just going toward an end point or destination, without implying an actual arrival or end point.  Is this the difference?  Thanks for clarifying.   

Why isn't it "aprender LA informática"? Is it because informática follows aprender?

But, what is the difference between "the parade of the Carnival groups'  and " pasa de Cabalgata" ?

It would be nice to be able to slow down the speed of speech throughout the site. This could be done in 2 ways. 

(1) a fast or slow option could be available in the user profile to be toggled at will and would affect all spoken Spanish played aloud

(2) Where ever a speaker icon exists in quizzes, where the individual sentences are played aloud, two speaker icons could be provided, one for slow and one for fast.

It would be soooo helpful
