Bringing this back up to the top because I'm still not getting it. Thanks

Subtle but mostly clear! 🙂

Makes sense. Thanks.

That's helpful and clear. thanks.

Thank you but I'll stick with the Castilian. Are there any plans to upgrade Castillian?

Thank you for checking this out for me. No matter how many times I played it, I could only hear what I heard, which was incorrect. I followed up on it today and cannot hear it incorrectly. Sometimes it helps to move along and come back later. That idea is the more important take away for me with this little adventure. It's a very common occurrence for me while listening to music as well.

In this case, "qué" is used with an accent because it is functioning as an interrogative word (meaning "what") in a direct or indirect question.

Here’s the breakdown:

Qué with an accent is used in direct or indirect questions to ask for specific information. It translates to "what" or "which" when asking about something.

Example: "¿Qué detalles son necesarios?" (What details are necessary?)
Que without an accent is used as a relative pronoun or conjunction, meaning "that," "which," or "who."

Example: "Los detalles que son necesarios..." (The details that are necessary...)
In your sentence:
"Debería saber qué datos son necesarios para la visa de trabajo argentina,"
The qué is used because it's asking about the specifics of which details are necessary. Even though it’s not a direct question, the structure suggests an indirect question, which is why the accent is used.

In general, unos/unas and algunos/algunas both mean "some," but they are used slightly differently.

Unos/unas are more often used with countable nouns and imply an approximate quantity. For example: "unas semanas" (some weeks) suggests a non-specific number of weeks.
Algunos/algunas can be used in similar contexts, but they are often used to express "some" in a more general or uncertain way, and they can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns.
In your example, "unas semanas" is correct because it's referring to a countable, but unspecified, number of weeks.

So, the difference is subtle, but unos/unas tends to be used more when you're talking about a quantity that can be counted, and algunos/algunas is a bit more flexible for a wider range of situations.

In Spanish, the adjective mínimo can be used both as an adjective that agrees with the noun (mínima) or as an adverb (mínimo) when indicating a minimum amount or extent.
In the phrase "una semana mínimo," mínimo is functioning as an adverb, meaning "at least" or "a minimum of." It's similar to saying "one week at a minimum" in English, which is why it doesn't need to agree with the noun semana.

If you were describing something as the "smallest" or "least" of its kind, then you would use the adjective form that agrees with the noun, for example:

una cantidad mínima (a minimum amount)
una duración mínima (a minimum duration)
In summary:

Mínimo (adverb): "una semana mínimo" (one week minimum)
Mínima (adjective): "una semana mínima duración" (a week with minimum duration)

Great question! Both quisiera and le gustaría can express "would like," but they have slightly different nuances in Spanish.

Le gustaría is the more common and neutral way to say "would like." It’s often used for wishes, desires, or polite requests, like in the sentence: A tu sobrino le gustaría tener un gato (Your nephew would like to have a cat). This phrasing is more straightforward and typically used when expressing someone's preferences.

Quisiera, which is the imperfect subjunctive of querer, carries a slightly more formal or polite tone and is often used in hypothetical or more polite contexts. It's commonly used for making polite requests or expressing more tentative desires, e.g., Quisiera un poco de agua (I would like some water).

In your example, while Tu sobrino quisiera tener un gato is grammatically correct, it might sound too formal or hypothetical for the given context, which is likely why it wasn't accepted as the correct answer. The sentence is simply stating a straightforward desire, so le gustaría is the preferred choice here.

Wow, that sounds like such a wonderful experience! Mérida sounds like a beautiful place to visit, and how amazing that you got to converse in Spanish with the locals. There’s nothing quite like connecting with people in their own language!

Thanks for the friendly tip too, "ICE" is definitely something to remember. 🙂
