It seems to me that this "HINT" is misplaced. The question seems clearly to be an if/conditional expression so what exactly is the point of the "wish/intention in the present"??

the most attractive thing about him is his hair

lo menos atractivo de él es su pelo--my answer counted incorrect.  why?  the least attractive  thing about him is his hair.

every translator uses "lo" by itself and not "lo que".

I am confused about the translation for a section of this exercise. That section is:  "I like King Baltazar". For this, I wrote "A mí me gusta al Rey Baltasar", but the corrected answer/translation was presented as "A mí me gusta el rey Baltasar". I thought the preposition "a" needed to be inserted after use of gusta if the reference was to a person (in this case "rey Baltasar" --- lower case in "rey" notwithstanding). Apparently, I am wrong. Could you please explain why "el" and not "al" was correct?

Hi there, I have (belatedly) discovered Notebooks and am finding these a great way to test myself across different levels and hone in on my weak points. I've added a load of lessons, but it feels like it's focussing very much on the higher level (B2) ones. I want to interleave my practice with my weak points from A2 and B1 too. 

Question: how does it decide which lessons to test from a notebook? Is it random? Or based on your current %? Or something else? 

Also, I'd LOVE a feature where it just quizzes you from your weakest lessons *of those you have already been quizzed on*, across all levels. Basically that's what I'm trying to achieve. 

The word "revise" in the 2nd sentence of the Details section is wrong and confusing. I believe the writer intended to say "review".

there is this sentence = the deceased were only remembered on November 1st.

the answer is = solo se recordaba a los difuntos el primero de noviembre.

But is using acordarse acceptable as well? 

= solo se acuerdaba ?

second question is that, for a few years = unos pocos años or pocos años.

can we use unos cuentos años or un par de años?

i do not understand why one is preferred over the other.

by the way, the audio seems to have some problems as i cant play it.

thanks

when do we use aumentar vs ir en aumento?

when do we use 'en' + noun pattern? or rather when do we use 'ir`? is it a grammar pattern where 'ir' + ' en' + noun?

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing  . . .

Hi, Can you give some information about prepositions? Like: in, on, etc.
