¿Se puede usar “¿Te anima a visitar Paris?”  o sería mejor decir “¿Te animas a visitar Paris?” ? Me parecen posibles las dos preguntas.

I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too. 

"En el mundo hay muchos paises interesantes pero para mí, el más interesante es Australia."

My question is, why is could one also say "lo más interesante..." and still be correct? That is, use "lo" instead of "el"? 

Hello,

I'm just wondering about the use of the reflexive comprarse.  It is used in this example:

En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas.You can buy very nice jewels in this shop
Why is the reflexive used here, and in general when do we use comprarse instead of comprar?
Thanks!Marcos

I don't understand how to determine when to use "de" versus "sobre" for the word "about".  Las chicas están hablando de mí >>  about --> de 

               Yo soy honesto. No puedo decir lo mismo sobre ti. >> about -->sobre

Thank you.

El smoking es tan elegante como el frac.

I find this example strange, can you check the audio to ensure it matches? I am having trouble with "smoking" how would that be pronounced? Ess-mo-keng? I guess this word is just throwing me for a loop

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?

Please forgive me. I am having difficulty writing the sentences.

It should be:

But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:

Tengo algo que contarte

When 'para' is used in the other two examples

Hope I did not confuse you too much.

Nosotras fuimos responsables de ese proyecto.
We were responsible for this project.

Shouldn't this be "este proyecto?"

In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite. 

Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.
