Spanish language Q&A Forum

If the author was travelling to Peru and he said he spoke Spanish, is this article Peru Spanish or Spanish Spanish?

¿En qué año se fundó Paraguay? ¿Y quién lo fundó?

Self grading has no importance to me. It is cumbersome to have to click an emoji just so I can continue with the test. Please make it optional.

I am having trouble understanding the difference between "perderse" and "perder" in the context of missing an opportunity.  For example, if you were talking to someone about not coming to a move with you, could you say "perdiste la oportunidad de ver la pelicula"?  Could you also say "te perdiste la pelicula"?  Would both of these be correct? 

It seems as if porque would convey the same idea and is probably more often used in conversation.  So is de tanto more formal, literary or is it used in the street?

The sing-songy intonation that he gives to everything he reads is distracting and seems completely unrealistic. Nobody that I've ever heard talks like that, and it makes the listening exercises for which he's the reader less useful than they otherwise would be. The selections that he reads always start with a long pause, as if he needed a cue and didn't get it, and, I always cringe in anticipation of yet another tra-la-laaaaa reading to have to transcribe. Honestly, who picked this guy? And did they discover him reading for story hour in some Spanish library's kids' section? 

What about using an article in front of being a stay at home parent? Soy madre. Soy padre. Is there an equivalent of this in the Spanish language?

I answered “están aconsejando” but it was wrong - it notes that “estan aconsejando” is the correct answer…

But NOTHING in the lesson explains this
