A big suggestion that I think would be very popular

It would be nice to be able to slow down the speed of speech throughout the site. This could be done in 2 ways.

(1) a fast or slow option could be available in the user profile to be toggled at will and would affect all spoken Spanish played aloud

(2) Where ever a speaker icon exists in quizzes, where the individual sentences are played aloud, two speaker icons could be provided, one for slow and one for fast.

It would be soooo helpful

Saludos, James

Question usage is not in the lesson

Question: ¡Estén atentos! means: Pay attention!

I don't see anywhere on the lesson that explains this usage. It seems like it's being used as a command/order.

One of the quiz questions confuses me________ la reunión ya que han llegado a un acuerdo.The meeting has come to an end because they reached an agreement.HINT: The meeting is now considered as finished
I picked the wrong answer here because in all of the examples given in the lesson, the verb dar agrees with the subject of the sentence. That wasn't the case here, I assume because this sentence is written in a passive form. The subject of this sentence is "meeting" (singular) whereas the correct verb form given is "han dado." I assume the "han" agrees with the "they" who reached an agreement?

A couple of questions

Hi,

1) Re: También, put "also" at the beginning of the sentence.

Is there a lesson I could learn about this?

Also why no “article” here:

Why “vía conexión satélite”" and not via una conexión satélite

Thank you so much for being there. Glad to see you are doing well! And wishing you all to stay well!

Article - la las etc

Is there a lesson to understand when the Spanish use an article - eg desde el surf hasta la escalada, and when they don't - eg conquistando repos nuevos

Abbreviated "ustedes" after "con" no es okay?

Not a big deal but would it be correct to abbreviate ustedes following con?

Depends on subject, or object?

this is a helpful lesson with good examples.

but I’m confused. the lesson says: The verb is conjugated in the 3rd person singular or plural, according to the subject in the sentence.

aren’t the singular or plural things the objects of the sentences?

numbers and nouns. location and gender

"In Spanish, nouns can be preceded by numbers." Can the numbers be other places?

If they can would you give examples. Sounds like all the numbers are invariable if below 199. 200 and above agree with noun that it is in front of. And the agreement goes with the hundreds.

100 when it becomes 101 the word for 100 becomes Ciento Is it only ciento when working with nouns. Say in general counting ciento also. People are talking about a cienta. Maybe does not happen.

Do we have link to learn about numbers?
