I am currently placed in C1 even though my brainmap shows a number of B1 and B2 cells described only as "growing confidence". Will my work in C1 contain subject matter with testing that will move "growing" to "good confidence"? If not, how do I earn "good confidence" standing in B after I was moved to C?
Hello,
There have been a number of questions in different topic areas along the lines of “Why don’t we use the present progressive tense for such and such an example in Spanish when the English translation is in the present progressive tense?” An example might be “Compro unas playeras” being translated as “I am buying some t-shirts”.
The answer is usually along the lines of, the Spanish present tense can often be translated as the present progressive tense in English.
So why are the present tense answers being marked wrong here? Also, maybe this idea could be added to the above lesson.

Is this an error?
