Robot Voices - Are they getting betterHello all,
Not so much a question, but an observation. When you click on the little speaker symbol at the end of a Spanish sentence, the robot voice has a go at reading it out.
There seem to be three or four different robots now, when I started with Kwiziq I think that there were only two.
I call them
"Mateo" - he's the "good" Spanish man, his reading seems to be quite good. Some UK users here may know why I call him Mateo.
"Marisa" is the older sounding lady, sometimes it sounds like she struggles, and is nowhere near as good as a human, and sometimes sounds both angry and bored.
A new lady, "Maria" seems to have come along as I have moved into B2 Lessons, she sounds younger and to me much better.
So what do people think of our robot voices? If it was possible I'd ask for "Maria" to kick Marisa to the kerb, as her Spanish sounds more fluent to me.
Buenos días.
As written in the title, it seems like they contradict themselves.

I can't see the difference in meaning between the English of the first and second examp;es in the lesson, so how can I decode on Indicative or Subjubctive?
I was reading along and halfway through it struck me that I was understanding every word easily. Wow! I was so pleased with my progress and then . . . I realized I was reading the Background segment which is in English!!! ¡Qué avergüenza!
¿A alguien más le ha pasado eso? Oh well, back to the grind . . .
And now, having read-along with the audio, and failed in trying to figure out where the text related to the audio, it's almost enough to make me grab a plane and head for Seville. Well, a little more vocab and I'll be hot to trot . . .
Acá se puede usar «del que» o «del cual» también?
Hola,
Antonio lo ha hecho por mí. --> when we say this, shouldn't we use para to imply someone or something receives benefits from an action?Gracias a todos.
