In the beginning of the exercise, you hint at using the word "parientes" for relatives but I think that the word needs to be added to the list of correct answers because currently, you only get a right answer for using "familiares". 

If we use the indicative after a truth, why not after "es genial que"? If something is great, then it's a truth that it is thus.

In the above question why is tù te marked wrong? I thought the use of pronouns was optional in Spanish.

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? 

¡Hola, Inma!

En un intento de utilizarte como última opción, me he puesto en contacto con mi primo en Chile y mi amigo en Guatemala, pero ni siquiera pueden responder a mi pregunta, así que contaré con tu ayuda. 

Re: To arrange a date / to meet

The construction of He + Quedado + Con makes perfect when making simple two party statements, but what I cannot figure out is how to keep the same He + Quedado + Con structure when adding another party.

Example: 

I have arranged to meet the plumber at 4 PM = He quedado con el fontanero a las 4.

But... How do I keep the same structure and say, "I have arranged for US to meet the plumber at 4."?

Todas mis amigas españolas me dicen que no es posible con esta estructura de la oración, pero no lo creo.

Gracias, Pato Quique

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

Shouldn't this be suavemente? Softly is an adverb here not an adjective?

"la agencia" is singular. So why "tienen" coches. What not "tiene". Is this just the (poor) way people speak? For example they refer to a team as "they" instead of "it"?

Hola,

My translators consistently omit the "unos" before "270 huesos" in the phrase  "pero los bebés nacen con unos 270 huesos que se fusionan con el tiempo". Is it grammatically correct to exclude the unos ? Or is it included simply for aesthetic reasons?

Saludos
