The sing-songy intonation that he gives to everything he reads is distracting and seems completely unrealistic. Nobody that I've ever heard talks like that, and it makes the listening exercises for which he's the reader less useful than they otherwise would be. The selections that he reads always start with a long pause, as if he needed a cue and didn't get it, and, I always cringe in anticipation of yet another tra-la-laaaaa reading to have to transcribe. Honestly, who picked this guy? And did they discover him reading for story hour in some Spanish library's kids' section? 

Interesting that réir in the vosotros form is riais, without an accent, but sonréir in the vosotros form is sonriáis, which has an accent!  This difference is not mentioned in this lesson.

Hola,

My translators consistently omit the "unos" before "270 huesos" in the phrase  "pero los bebés nacen con unos 270 huesos que se fusionan con el tiempo". Is it grammatically correct to exclude the unos ? Or is it included simply for aesthetic reasons?

Saludos

If the author was travelling to Peru and he said he spoke Spanish, is this article Peru Spanish or Spanish Spanish?

Self grading has no importance to me. It is cumbersome to have to click an emoji just so I can continue with the test. Please make it optional.

In the above question why is tù te marked wrong? I thought the use of pronouns was optional in Spanish.

Shouldn't this be suavemente? Softly is an adverb here not an adjective?

In the beginning of the exercise, you hint at using the word "parientes" for relatives but I think that the word needs to be added to the list of correct answers because currently, you only get a right answer for using "familiares".
