I would like/suggest a few things be changed in the Spanish profile.

1. Quote: However, the correct phrase is 'No problema!'.

Please, that phrase does not exist, and is grammatically incorrect. The correct expression is "¡No hay problema!". The english word no is translated in this context as ningún/ninguna. Actually, the expression "Ningún problema" exists as well.

2. Tango is not mainly instrumental."Tango for export" might be, however tango listened to in Argentina (by old people, I admit) is sung. And the lyrics are somewhat hard to understand, because of the use of lunfardo.

Just a comment: I am not old and I listen to instrumental tango!( Astor Piazzolla)

I pointed out a couple of factual errors in the Spanish profile too some time ago, but there has not been any reaction.

I suppose the Administrator is too busy with other things, and these are just details after all.

It is a shame though, to have two or three clear pieces of misinformation in there, since as a whole the Spanish profile is an excellent and very informative summary for the prospective language student.
