Siempre queContrataremos al nuevo profesor siempre que tengamos presupuesto.
We will hire the new teacher as long as we have the budget.

My boyfriend is from Mexico and he says it should be "siempre cuando", and not siempre que, he said siempre que sounds like I am saying " we will hire the new teacher always when we have the budget" and not as long as we have

mood of the verb

My understanding is that 'Imperative' is a mood, not a tense, the other moods being 'indicative' and 'subjunctive'.

'Passve' and 'Active' are 'voices'.

How can Spanish be the second most spoken language in the world?

how can Spanish be the second most spoken language in the world? Sure, China is probably # 1 but just the population of the U.S.A. alone at more than 400 million is greater than all the native hispanohablantes. Add in Australia, South Africa, England, Scotland and a few other countries and 2nd and 3rd place must be very close. Almost every country conducts business in English so there are a lot of English as a second language speakers. Am I missing something?

Quiz question confusion

"Ella ha roto con él pero ________ así él sigue insistiendo.

She broke up with him but even so he keeps trying.

(HINT: aún or aun?)"

I've already forgotten which I picked, but I got it wrong. My confusion is that according to the lesson, both "aun así" and "aún así" mean "despite that". I can't think of a sentence in English where "even so" is not interchangeable with "despite that". It certainly seems like they are interchangeable in the quiz question above. Is there a nuance that I'm not grasping that explains why only one of the options is correct?
