The European pronunciation is really weird-sounding. "Z" pronounced as "f," "c" pronounced as "th," and "vodka" sounded like "votha." And this is the first time I heard a "g" pronounced as it was in "ginebra." I guess I need to do more of these listening exercises! Or is it too much trouble to include a Latin American version?

Hello, excellent lesson.  We know that "un/una" changes with gender.  Is this true of every number that ends with "un/una"?

Ex:

Vientiún estudiantes, veintiuna camas

Ciento un aguacates, ciento una botellas

Thanks.

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster: 

till

 noun (1)

Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)

A quiz marked 'Te no miras' (you don't look at yourself) as correct. But I don't think it is. The reflex particle goes closer to the conjugated verb. 'No te miras' 

If something is currently better now, but may change, why don't I use estar?  For example, el tiempo está mejor ahora.

In a writing exercise (a day outside), it told me to use es.

The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.

"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."

--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.

"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."

--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.

It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.

When is "cómo es" used? I keep seeing it as a correct option but what scenario it would be used in hasn't been specified.

For "I will get my nails shaped" we were told to "use the construction for 'to have something done'" - so [following your guidelines for sentences of that type] I put: "me daré forma a las uñas", but this was incorrect. However, "*le* daré forma a las uñas" was among the options allowed?
