Some of these sentences, like "La iglesia está al lado del colegio", were spoken extremely fast. Spanish relies on a phonetic grammar rather than on timing to separate words, and this is very difficult for someone who hasn't even learned Spanish word grammar.
Hola
I am having difficulty understanding when an answer is simply incorrect and you wouldn't say it in Spanish, and when the answer given is not what Kwiz expects to see. For example, I wrote 'Cuando fine la leccion' (I can't find the accent!) and it was marked incorrect. Would it be incorrect to say that in conversation with a Spanish speaker?
Many thanks

I would just like to request more examples for practice before this particular lesson gets to the Kwiz Questions. And thanks for adding the Latin America option!
It took me three times reading this before I got the real drift of the story. Very funny LOL. Necesitamos más colas sutiles como esta para que la cuenta no menee al perro.
I don't understand how the text is "periphrasis" - in a roundabout way. How might it have been written other than the way it was?
Is it because conseguir refers to a person not a thing?
Antonio y jade Altos what verb is before alto?
How might a speaker differentiate an inquiry of How is X? from What is X like? (Context is usually enough, but both questions are common so it'd be nice to know.)
It might be helpful to point out how an infinitive is used to express what in English a gerund might be used for (Sorry, I know that's a horrible sentence.) To reference the quiz question, "conducir" is used for the concept "driving." As an English speaker, that is strange and it was not apparent right away what was going on.
