Carmen estaba haciendo horas extra para poder comprar una cama...

I'm wondering if it is common to use two infinitives together, as in "para poder comprar"?

Thanks

Throughout the program in many quizzes in many different topics I am getting red X´s for answers that were not my answers and I am not receiving credit for my correct answers. I have seen this happen many times (in 500 tests maybe 25 times) and I finally have concluded that it really is happening but unfortunately I cannot give the feedback that you require, namely, the location where it happened, because by the time I detect a problem, the original question is already gone from the screen and cannot be retrieved. I realize that it would be very difficult if not impossible to locate and solve this because of the sheer size and complexity of the program. I understand this as a former professional software developer but I still feel that I need to report it. 

This is not a complaint, per se, but merely an informative comment for your consideration.

thanks for the opportunity to report this

thank you, James

Si iba a la peluquería, me gastaba mucho dinero.
If I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money.

Sorry but I can't make any sense out of the use of  English in this example.

"When I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money"   No problem

"If I had been to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lort of money"  OK

"If I were to go to the hairdresser, I would spend a lot of money"

"If I go to the hairdresser, I shall spend a lot of money"

The example:  If I went to the hairdreser, I spent a lot of money" is not good English.

Hope this can be of help.

Las pronunciaciones de los ejemplos españoles con signos de interrogación no suenan correctos. Este ejemplo en la lección, "Conjugate regular -ar verbs in El Pretérito Indefinido", "¿Ayudaste a tu madre?", la pronunciación no tiene la inflexión apropiado por una pregunta.

¿Tengo razón?

En este ejemplo la pronunciación no quiere apropiado inflexión por una interrogación pregunta

Esta nota es para Laura y todas las personas otras quién desarrollaron  este método de enseñar español: Ustedes han creado una revolución en el campo de educación de idiomas. ¡Congratulaciones a todos!

En la lección de la nivel a2, "Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)", todos los ejemplos y se traducen los casos de El pretérito perfecto como el pretérito indefinido. ¿Por qué?

En este caso para yo, el contexto no es importante.

En la programa, se dice, 

"No podemos escuchar bien = We can't hear well." .

Siempre pensaba que escuchar quiere decir "to listen" y oír quiere decir "to hear". 

Por favor lo explícame la diferencia.

When translating to a passive sentence, why is it "se come paella" and not "se comen paella", when people is a plural noun?

Pay raise, not rise. Just pointing that out.
