How do I cause my recommended lessons and associated quizzes to increase in difficulty within a specific level, a1, for example? It seems that the quizzes I take and my recommended lessons do not increase in difficulty. I feel like I'm standing still. Even though my brain map gets greener all the time.

Thank you, James

Se comió ________ bocadillo. He ate half the sandwich.

medio was the correct answer. I put "el mitad de" which was marked wrong. 

EDIT: Maybe because I used "de" instead of "del"? Now it is being marked correct with that answer. If this is the case, shouldn't it show me that "el mitad del" is the correct answer? This is confusing.

Hi, 

HINT: serio = serious

Why does serio become seriecillo when it doesn't end with an e or a constant? 

Is it common in Spanish to have two words seriecilla / seriecillo that are almost similar yet so different in meaning? 

Thank you! 

Is it possible to bold the accent marks or make them in red?  I can't really tell if it is a dot over a letter or an accent mark.

Hi, I know someone asked this question earlier, but still this "ya que" bugs me.

There must be some kind of difference in choosing between "ya que" and "porque".  

Can you help me understand when to use which?  

Thank you!

¿Tienen el mismo significado "está por llover" y "está para llover"? ¿Hay algún matiz?

So, "hay" is used for both singular and plural? And not "han bares in mi varrio"? Can "ha" be used in such a case? 

I feel like I've heard some people use "bastante" to mean "a lot." Like, "En mi ciudad, hay bastantes lugares para salir." Is that accurate?
