why do you say yo soy una estudiante but not yo soy una professora

Me encontré con Pablo y no lo reconocí.Estaba muy cambiado o Estuvo muy cambiado.

I have the same question as Ryan B., below. “ In the last 2 examples, the subjects are:

Mis cortinas nuevas y las negociaciones.

Obviously, the position of the subjects is different. Is there any reason or do they have the same meaning?

Could, for example, the first 3 sentences be written as..

Secretarias con experiencia se buscan.

 El periódico barato se vende aquí.

Apartamentos de lujo se venden en la playa.

?

Por fin...

Could the last two sentences be written as ..

Se han hecho mis cortinas nuevas en dos días.

 Se harán las negociaciones pronto.

??

Surely there should be an English translation at the end?

Surely having the ability to play the story at progressively faster speeds should help with listening comprehension, no?

Could this mean “Buy it for yourself.” if you are speaking formally?

Hola Silvia, 

Just to let you know about the mistake in the English passage here: 

"Sandra looks a lot like his grandfather..." rather than her.

Saludos y buen finde 🙂

Just a quickie... I was surprised there was no two question quiz at the end!  It's the first lesson I've encountered where that was true.  I am assuming (always dangerous) it's because the lesson is relatively basic and in fact similar to others currently on my study plan.   :)

En "Castañas asadas" (fill-in-the-blanks) ocurre el cambio de tiempo verbal (compartiríamos mientras conversamos/saldríamos ... mientras comemos). Por qué?
