"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..?  (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

Why is there a “th” sound in 19 or is this Castilian pronunciation?

How do you say "both A and B", especially if A and B are different genders? For example, how do you say "both Jane and Jack are good students"? Thank you. 

For example:  Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película.   We always laugh at that movie.  I would have never known to use "con."  I would have chosen "a."

And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños.  You laugh at the children.  Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de."  Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?

Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?

Hola,

The last sentence says "Los pájaron volaban sobre nosotras.", shouldn't it be pájaros?

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"?

You only give two forms- "todavia no [verb]" and "no [verb] todavia", yet a vast majority of your sentences are "no [entire sentence] todavia" as you put "yet" at the end of the sentence. But, even when you do put the word "yet" early in the sentence, you still require "no [entire sentence] todavia" as the answer, which is not even an option in the instructions above.  It makes it very frustrating as I am struggling with a recent surge in progress and trying to solidify it and work my way through A2.  Your site is wonderful, but there are a few frustrating areas :)
