may i check if both situations mean the same thing?

I will speak to her when she gets home.

because i do not know when will she get home so i will use subjunctive.

How about if i DO know when she will get home and i am referring to the future time when she gets home, say maybe 9pm, is this still using subjunctive? although i do know the time, we are speaking of a non general situation that is happening in the future. Does this trigger the subjunctive too?

Thanks

How to I remove Latin America lessons from Dashboard?

No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"

"festero" significa "party-goer"??

In this sentence:  "Les lanzo la pelota y deben apagarla con las dos manos."  

I throw you the ball, and you must stop it with two hands.

I don't understand the use of 'Les" is it referring to 'you"?

there is this sentence = the deceased were only remembered on November 1st.

the answer is = solo se recordaba a los difuntos el primero de noviembre.

But is using acordarse acceptable as well? 

= solo se acuerdaba ?

second question is that, for a few years = unos pocos años or pocos años.

can we use unos cuentos años or un par de años?

i do not understand why one is preferred over the other.

by the way, the audio seems to have some problems as i cant play it.

thanks

Hi there, I have (belatedly) discovered Notebooks and am finding these a great way to test myself across different levels and hone in on my weak points. I've added a load of lessons, but it feels like it's focussing very much on the higher level (B2) ones. I want to interleave my practice with my weak points from A2 and B1 too. 

Question: how does it decide which lessons to test from a notebook? Is it random? Or based on your current %? Or something else? 

Also, I'd LOVE a feature where it just quizzes you from your weakest lessons *of those you have already been quizzed on*, across all levels. Basically that's what I'm trying to achieve. 

In this exercise the preterit 3rd person singular of "creer" is shown as "crió" whereas in my other Spanish dictionaries it is shown as "creció". Is the former conjugation specific to Latin America whilst the latter (creció) is specific to Spain?

Does «media naranja» (soulmate) literally mean "orange sock"? How did this term for "soulmate" develop in Spanish culture?

I can't speak for Europe or Australia but I can tell you that in the U.S. no one is ever going to say, "We've seen the singer sign autographs to the fans." The correct construction for this verb is to sign autographs FOR fans...not to the fans. If I heard someone say  this I would assume they were not a native speaker of English.
