Other possible nationalities to add

Hi.

This is quite a comprehensive list to refer to people from Europe and most of North, Central and South America. I notice though that “hondureño” is missing from the list of Central American nationalities. Perhaps it could be added? Also, countries in Asia, Africa and Australasia are listed in the corresponding exercise on countries but not mentioned here. Perhaps the two lists could be tweaked to make them match up? And finally, why not list “Escocia”, “Inglaterra”, “Irlanda” “ Irlanda del Norte” and “Gales” in the list of countries (companion exercise) since people from those places would rarely say - at least initially - that they’re from the “Reino Unido”?

Hola Vincent Z.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, Vincent, we really appreciate your attention to detail!

We've now added "hondureño" to the list.

As for "escocés", "galés", "irlandés" and "norirlandés", these nationalities were already included in the list, but it's great to have that confirmation from your end that they’re important to highlight.

You’re also absolutely right that we have another companion list that focuses on nationalities ending in "-e" that don’t change for gender (like canadiense). That list includes nationalities from a wider range of regions — including Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and complements the one you're referring to.

We’ll also review the alignment between the country names and nationalities across both exercises to make sure they match up more closely, your suggestion is very helpful in that regard.

Thanks again for your valuable input!

Feliz semana

Silvia
