I was wondering if  “Lamentablemente” would be acceptable here and if not, why not.

Thank you.

This test question confused me.  I thought that a number under 200 used "unos" but the test answer says it should be unas tres horas.

The journey lasts about three hours. : El viaje dura ___ horas.

Hi...

My name is Zotya and I wonder how I can expect it to be pronounced by Spanish people when I arrive there in October.

I am specifically interested because if the first letter "Z".

Thank you all.

Can I exchange de for como?

E.g.

trabajo de secretaria

trabajo como contable

What difference would it make if I used esté instead of estuviera?

It seems to me that when conditional is used que takes on a similar function as si.

Could we replace que with si?

E.g.

No estaría bien que tuvieses tanto tiempo libre.

No estaría bien si tengas/tuvieras tanto tiempo libre.

In the Superbike translation exercise, you translated "We'll always remember this day" as "Vamos a acordarnos siempre de este día".  Why is "Vamos a recordar siempre de este dia" not also correct ?

This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?

It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?

Present + desde hace ... 

Hace ... que + present

Imperfect + desde hacía ... 

Hacía ... que + Imperfect
