Upon clicking on the lesson, I see this warning, "Note that this is a Europe focused lesson. Your active focus is Latin America.'  .... how are weather talks different in Latin America?

Let’s hope I win this contes!

Esperemos poder ganar este concurso …’Let’s’ and ‘I’ are two different subjects…Why isn’t it subjunctive?

There's a question about how we went to an Indian restaurant and ate everything because it was very rich. The thing they're eating is "food," but the answer wanted you to use "todo." They had it agree with the adjective of rich, but there's nothing that indicates a masculine noun.

You should just ask a straight up question and not try to fool us. 

I understand why:

"¡Ya estás pidiendo disculpas a tu hermano!"

is correct, but I don't understand why:

"Pidas disculpas a tu hermano is wrong."

thanks,

why are "they are always eating chocolate" "Ellos siempre están comiendo chocolato", and not "Ellos siempre está comiendo chocolato"?

Hola Ana, Silvia, e Inma -

In your lesson Conjugate stem-changing-ir verbs (e > i) in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido) - I am wondering if it might be worth mentioning that the guideline applies to the majority of verbs ending with "-e#ir" - because most of them seem to change the 'e' to 'i' in the 3rd person "pretérito indefinido" [where the # symbol denotes a consonant, or two consonants together, or even no consonant as with 'reír'] >

> i.e., almost all of them follow the pattern "servir > sirvió, sirvieron"...

... and seguir > siguió, siguieron [note that 'gu' is effectively just a consonant with its silent u]

I have come across only a few exceptions to that^ rule:

namely, the three "-cer.nir" verbs: discernir, concernir, cernir(se)... the three "-ergir" ones: sumergir, convergir, divergir... and hendir - [e.g., the third person preterite becomes él discer.nió - not discirnió].

There are also one or two [?] defective verbs which behave like that^, for example 'ellos agredieron' (they attacked), not 'agridieron'.

Saludos, David Mc

I have already emailed 3 times using "Contact us" but there was no response. How many time do I need to email you? I have already paid for 1 year subscription premium. The homepage does show the message that I paid for premium subscription, but the account still shows I am a free user and I still have the upgrade button showing on the homepage. 

Let me know what is wrong with my account. I am very disappointed by the poor customer service kwiziq. I am not able to use premium services even after 3 days of payment. 

is it not more common, due to the context to say "voy a preparar los documentos" vs" Mis documentos" in Castilian Spanish?
