Pondering subjunctiveIt appears to me that by deciding to use subjuctive in the second clause of the sentence, creates the doubt. Therefore, however I set up the statement does not really matter. Generally, I will have created doubt. I am guess that generally the doubt it pushed onto the first clause, meaning:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.
Me alego (I am pleased, as long as it was pleasing, but maybe it was not so pleasing for you afterall)... or is it that I am pleased, but you may not have really travelled the world. Which is the sentiment? Am I on the right track? I am guessing the first.
What is the sentiment if I were to say "Estoy feliz que hayas viajado a diferentes países".
¿Enserio güey? Qué tal? Formal?
I notice from the examples that hacerse seems to be used (with few exceptions) when the change is under your control or voluntary. This is logical because you are "making yourself" change.
And quedarse means "keep", suggesting that you're stuck with the change permanently!
This seems to help me. I hope it helps other students.

Hi,
Hope all are well and keeping well.
I was wondering if you could help me to know how to determine when to write “qu” or “c”.
Also, one of the hints included the word “spa” which had nothing to do with the text, and there wasn’t any mention of spa in that section (or anywhere else).
Thank you for your attention.
Nicole
Is it because despierta is being used as an adjective here? Thank you
At the other hand there are no examples for "por.
Can "por" also be interpreted as "by"

Gracias.
