For the second sentence, you hint to use El Pretérito Indefinido but the right answer is "era" which is El Pretérito Imperfecto. I should have gotten it anyways but just wanted to let you know in case you want to change the hint.
wish to learn mainland Spanish not Latin American. I keep getting marked as incorrect on this question. Then your first sentence on the help confirms for mainland Spanish my answer is correct. Please help.
This is as lousy an application as Duh-lingo.
Why was there no translation for "Venir a cuento" (To come to the point) , "San Ginés" (Saint Genesius), "El asilo del libro" (the Book Asylum) and "Tusitala? Do the choice of names for the librerías have no relevance? It might be of value to know why such names were chosen. Ej:
¿Qué significa Tusitala?, La Librería dice, "nos preguntáis con frecuencia: Tusitala significa "el que cuenta historias", es el nombre que los nativos de Samoa daban a Robert Louis Stevenson cuando se reunían con él para escuchar sus cuentos.
En la librería Tusitala siempre dedicamos un espacio al escritor escocés, que ahora se amplía con 'Olalla', novela ambientada en España y que ha recuperado Ediciones Invisibles. Una joya de la narrativa que os recomendamos encarecidamente."
Interesting, no?

Que inocente y romantico! Mi lo gusta! Yo espero mas!
It would be so much nicer if one didn't need to scroll up and down the page during the exercise. Surely by resizing some of the components on the screen it should be possible to dispense with the need to scroll between each segment of the exercise, no?
Of course, if a cell phone is used that might cause more scrolling etc but on a 14" laptop screen it should be easy enough to presnet a page that's more concise . . .
Hi, sorry i missed the g in “missing”. Shirley.
In this exercise the preterit 3rd person singular of "creer" is shown as "crió" whereas in my other Spanish dictionaries it is shown as "creció". Is the former conjugation specific to Latin America whilst the latter (creció) is specific to Spain?
