    When (and IF) Fluenz does a complete upgrade on Italian, you won't be charged extra for it. At least, that was the case when they did an upgrade on Spanish.

    Thanks for reporting this inconsistency, we'll make sure to fix it asap. Your understanding is correct: Stadt is closer to the word City because it means a much bigger place than Dorf, which means Town. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of the program!

    For the following spoken phrase: "Nous voulons du fromage et des bières. Ce fromage, s’il vous plaît, et quelle bière est bonne?"

    I typed and wrote the above correctly but it would not recognize my answer as such. I was unable to move forward in the lesson workout unless the answer phrase was copied and pasted in the box.

    Just an FYI, I do not believe the error was on my end as I checked repeatedly against the correct answer.

    Hi @Keats !
    Yes, the differences you've noticed in vocabulary and phrases between what you learned in high school and what you're learning now are mostly regional differences.

    "El auto" vs. "El coche": Both terms are used to refer to a car, but their usage varies by region. In many Latin American countries, like Argentina and Mexico, "el auto" is more commonly used. In Spain, however, "el coche" is the preferred term.

    "¿Cómo se llama?" vs. "¿Cuál es su nombre?": Both forms are correct and understood in any Spanish-speaking region. "¿Cómo se llama?" (literally "How do you call yourself?") is more commonly used in everyday conversation. "¿Cuál es su nombre?" (literally "What is your name?") is also correct but can sound a bit more formal or direct.

    These differences are a natural part of language variation across different regions. Keep practicing, and you'll become familiar with the regional nuances!
