The “Play All” function with this lesson / list of profession in Spanish is most helpful. It would greatly enhance your course and the use of your cou

It would greatly enhance your course and the use thereof if you included the same “Play All” feature for all the examples given at the end of each of your approximately 600 lessons.

Confusing sentence

Te vamos a ayudar y vamos a hacer que pases este examen sin problema.

We're going to help you and get you pass this exam with no difficulty.

This above sentence in English makes no sense and would not be said. I tried to think of alternate ways of saying it, maintaining the integrity of the sentence. Here a couple examples:

We're going to help you, and make (sure) you pass this exam with no difficulty.

We're going to help you, and get you through this exam with no difficulty.

Perhaps someone else could provide a better solution?

Include the verb decir in the examples.

Hi Inma, a suggestion, give an example with decir. Or would this be incorrect? E.g. Le dijo a ella. He told her. (She is affected in some way by him telling her).

Example very unclear

Tu novia y tú habéis estado comprometidos hasta este año.Your girlfriend and you have been engaged until this year.

The meaning is unclear to me — are they no longer engaged?

Then, in my opinion, the English should be:

..Your girlfriend and you.were engaged until this year, not have been. But maybe I do not understand what is being expressed in Spanish. In any case, the English sentence is not clear.
