definitivamente vale la pena si visite españa. Hay aeropuerto

I've listened over and over and can't hear the Y in "José y María". 

Is it not there or am I just unable to hear it? 

Hi Kwiziq experts,

In the phrase "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local fue deleitarme con..."  I wrote "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local ERA deleitarme con..."   I was marked wrong and corrected "era DELEITARSE con"  and I'm not sure why that is. Is it down to whether one uses fue or era in the sentence?

Many thanks

Dee

Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.

The best answer is:

Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.

Is it incorrect to say    estaba visitando  OR   visitaba   ?

I can't find any lessons on the differences.

Gracias

Hi,
The main part of this lesson has no audio. Could you please fix this if possible?

(Aunque + the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish)

Thanks

1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?

2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?

I was hoping to learn Mexican pronunciation  but you use the Spanish pronunciation using the th sound instead of c sound.  Are the listening exercises also going to use the vosotros  grammar forms or Mexican grammar?

"dentro del seno de una familia catolica, (etc)" = within the bosom of a catholic family. Why pare down the literary parts to just the basic meaning of "to a catholic family (etc)"? The "dentro del seno" seems to indicate that he was born into a loving, caring family (O.K. plus wealthy and traditional!). But when we read Cervantes and Shakespeare aren't those literary embellishments what made them classics?

It says that the correct answer is  "QUERÍAMOS".  I don't understand why you don't use "quisimos".  We wanted to help and actually did help, so it is a completed action.
