Please, help me understand the difference:

Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.   

I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.

To me the english deffinition appears to be equal to the present perfect "has viajado".  Is it that there is doubt that you have actually travelled to different countries? or....is there something else that needs to be read into the use of subjunctive here.

The answer to ‘they were about to finish their exam’ is given as ‘Han estado a punto de...’   

there’s no sense that this is the situation of ‘but something intervened’, and it doesn’t feel like a natural ‘perfecto’ tense to me, more just an action in the past. So I’m wondering why the perfecto was chosen here?

I was always taught that you can use "me gusta el deporte" to refer to sports and it is more common to use the singular, rather than the plural. The same as in English. Is this correct?

I don’t understand what the last mark over the a in haciá is, if not an accent. Apparently, it would be better for me not to add any accents, rather than adding one and getting it wrong.

Hello, I use several sources to learn Spanish, and the other ones suggest using Estar for relationships with husband and wife, is there any reason why they would be incorrect?  Thanks

There is a lot of discussion on the internet about whether “him” and “her” are direct objects of conocer that should use lo and la.

In the sentence "Él me trata tan especialmente como tú." why is tú used here rather than a ti - Él me trata tan especialmente como a ti. I'm assuming it is the function of the word as which is what here a preposition or a conjunction. As an aside what might be the most accurate English in this sentence, especially or specially?
