Mi vecina Clara, que es peluquera, tiene su propio salón de belleza.

why we didnt say una peluquera?

Can I use both por and con el ruido. Is there any difference between them?

Can I use mi pierna? In other lessor it was siad that it should ne la pierna. When can I use pronoun with body?

In the example "Los turistas fueron a El Salvador." Why isn't it "LAS turistas?"

Why is the usage of nosotros as above been marked wrong

I don't seem to be getting this lesson. I freely admit there are things above my head. When I just don't get it, I want to move on to other things (to stay motivated) hoping sometime in the future I'll get it then. Sadly, I am stuck on a subject that I won't even use much as a beginner. I'd like to skip it.  Just my opinion. Thanks. 

El concepto de antención plena

la llegada de la atención plena

Why is the article used in the second pharse but not in the first ?

Whenever I answer a fill in the blank question with anything other than que or quien(es) it is marked wrong. The multiple choice seem to work fine.

How might a speaker differentiate an inquiry of How is X? from What is X like?  (Context is usually enough, but both questions are common so it'd be nice to know.)

I'm having trouble consistently distinguishing between using 'a' or 'en' when talking about being somewhere.

For instance, in the dialog, "... Alberto estará  en la reunión...", 

Would we say "estará en la reunión" to mean someone will be 'in' the meeting, while "estará a la reunión" has a connotation indicating a location 'at' the meeting?

Or is it always customary to use 'en' in cases like this?

Hi,

Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'.  Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?

Best regards,

Colin
