I am confused by the following example sentence

Luis told me where he had gone on holiday. : Luis me dijo ___ había ido de vacaciones.

The stated answer is “dónde” (with an accent), but this usage seems to be that of a relative pronoun. What am I missing? Why is it “dónde” (with an accent)

Using demonstrative pronouns: este/esta & sacamos/tomamosTomamos esa foto en Madrid pero tomamos éste en Barcelona.

Please, why is este marked wrong and esta given as the correct one? I can't work out why foto (masc) has esta (female) and not este. Is it because its BarcelonA?

And why sacamos and not tomamos?

Gracias.

How to say "My wife is a New Mexican"?

Hi! So I was just wondering, if I want to say "My wife is a New Mexican", is there a way to say "Mi esposa es una Nuevo Mexicana"? Normally I would make nueva female, but "Nuevo Mexico" is a noun, so I'm not sure. Or should I just go with "Mi esposa es de Nuevo Mexico"? Thank you for your help!

More challenging questions

Just a suggestion: I feel that the question set for this lesson could be more challenging. Could add 4 or 5 questions with more room for error rather than translating from Spanish to English. Choices in Spanish where we could easily go wrong.

Madrugar means the same as levantarse temprano?

I don't understand why in one sentence the lady says that she gets up early every morning (me levanto temprano) but in the next sentence she says "no me gusta madrugar". Are you just showing us that there are two ways to say that she gets up early? Isn't this a bit much for beginner Spanish!?!?

Fue interesante, pero no me gustó la música, que fue irritante y una distracción.

I was going to vs I was about to.10________ avisarte de que la fiesta se ha cancelado. I was about to warn you that the party is cancelled.Iba aEstuve aFuiEstaba yendo a Tuve que

I was completely thrown by the inclusion of the words "About to".

Iba a avisarte would just mean "I was going to warn you"

I was about to warn you should surely be: "Estaba a punto de advertirte" Not given as an option
