The correct answer to one of the questions is "prefiero que ellas cocinéis las paella".  ¿Y cómo?

Hi Inma, 

The translation is given as “every journey has become a thrilling (?) adventure.” If convertirse (en) is the verb of choice here for “become”, would it have been better to give a different translation perhaps “every journey has turned into a thrilling adventure.” 

It strikes me that “convertirse en” just doesn’t fit with your lesson where you say that it is used to describe “A radical change in personality or profession,” and is interchangeable with “hacerse” in that regard. Hence a different translation would have steered me towards either “convertirse en” or “volverse” [which is what I chose]. That said, your lessons on this topic deal with people becoming a certain way, rather than situations changing. Perhaps the guidance for the former cannot be carried through to the latter. Can you clarify this in any way? Saludos. John

Why is this part in present tense! Doesn't it refer to the concert - which took place yesterday? Is it used to make this part more lively, more immediate?But somehow it is strange for me to "jump"  into the present tense!

Looking forward to an explanation!

Saludos!

"hacen demostraciones en directo e imparten cursos, lo que atrae la curiosidad"

Hacer demostraciones y impartir cursos son dos cosas, y las dos cosas serían referidas de las que atrae curiosidad, no? Porque habla de 2 cosas y luego tienes que usar el singular? Gracias!

You should just ask a straight up question and not try to fool us. 

¿Ambas son correctas?

1. Solo escuche como toco.

2. Solo escuche cómo toco.

 Gracias de antemano

Rafa, el muy egoísta ... : Rafa, [being] such an idiot .... 

Shouldn't the translation be "Rafa, [being] such an egotist"...?  Or perhaps ""Rafa, the egotistical  jerk"
