Not a huge deal, but I learned monte = hill and montaña = mountain and not the other way around. Maybe I'm wrong.
I am confused with fui and estuve. Fui is simple past but estuve is past also??
The question given is: De los dos películas esa es la peor.
The multiple choice answers are
Out of those two films that one is very bad / better / bad / worse.
Since película is à “feminine “ noun; Should the question not be De ESAS dos películas esa es la peor. Or perhaps De LAS dos películas esa es la peor.

How to decide to use por (for because) versus porque (as in the example above):

I ask because in the recording for "Yo vivo en Córdoba" it's a "yo" sound. But for the "Yo vivo en el barrio de Gràcia" recording it's a soft j sound resulting in "jo".
When I practice at Duolingo I also sometimes here the y vs. j difference. Are both interchangeable in Spanish? If no, what are the rules for choosing j vs. y?
Or, is the recording audio simply not of good quality?
Hola,
Is there a reason why "cuento" cannot be used for "story."
My translator says that "cuento" is used for a fictional tale and "historia" is used for a narrative account. I always thought that they were more or less interchangeable.
Kind Regards
John
