Spanish language Q&A Forum

My earlier question (earlier in this thread) was answered for the most part, thank you, but  not all of it was answered, it was a long question!

So here is what I still would like to know:

2-1) for example I don't understand why I am not logged in anymore when I click on my name in the 

Q&A section in Lawless to get a list of my questions and I'm suddenly in Kwiziq.

3) How do I find this article below, that is at https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/

A new question:

Are all the exercices/lessons the same on these sites: Lawless/ Progress with Lawless/Kwizik? and if I do an exercise or quiz in one of the above, will it count on my Dashboard and  the Leaderboard here? 

Thank you for your attention.

In this lesson, peninsular Spanish is specified (however I am in the US and speak Spanish with Cubans, Mexicans, etc., so not only is this sort of new to me, it's not clear how useful it is). From what I've heard & read, there are many differences in the Americas in how the simple and compound past tenses are used (e.g., https://www.scribd.com/document/148697440/El-sistema-verbal-del-espanol-de-America-De-la-temporalidad-a-la-aspectualidad-Quesada-Pacheco-Espanol-actual-75-2001). If we include both peninsular and American (and other world) Spanish speakers, this is quite a range of variants. English speakers have a parallel set of past tenses in went/has gone. Obviously this is a false friend when compared to a specific dialect of Spanish such as the peninsular dialect (although I wonder how perfectly consistent this is across the peninsula). But is the English parallel any more “false” than the Ecuadorian, Peruvian, or Mexican one, relative to the peninsular one? How would a Spaniard respond if an American Spanish speaker consistently used the false English parallel to these tenses, compared to their response to an Ecuadorian, Peruvian, or Mexican speaker who consistently used their own native variant?

Thanks,

Can we get an option to remove hints from the tests?

For example with the following hint: 

HINT: Conjugate “ser” in El Pretérito Imperfecto

There is really no point to the question, because I can easily conjugate the verb if you tell me this...the difficulty is in knowing when to use the imperfect vs the preterite.

I would also like an option to get rid of the multiple choice answers for the one or two word answers. Sometimes you can eliminate three options just based on context without actually understand the grammar that is supposedly being tested.

Right now it is too easy to get the right answer when you don't really know the topic very well.

This completed quiz does not show on the Brainmap.  Can you help?

I'm new to this Spanish learning service and there's so about this that I really like - however - this is very very Europe focused. So much so that it blows my mind. I recognize that any Spanish learning is a good thing but it does add to my already considerable frustration with learning Spanish that I'm learning things that seem useless to me at this point. SO - is there a mod that can be activated to make this service more Latin America facing? AND shouldn't there be some up front notification that this is a program that is rooted in Spanish from Spain - which isn't what everyone wants.

Saludos, Inma and disculpame,

pero, I notice that there are a lot of "p" popping sounds in the audio of "Ropa de Invierno" and remembered hearing that the Spanish alphabet should be able to be pronounced in front of  a candle without blowing it out. How are the lips and tongue placed to pronounce "p" , "t"  and "s" to achieve that goal, please?
