Estoy seguro de que Marina dijo lo siguiente en el podcast (tiempo
13:50).
“me gustó mucho las playas’
¿Por que no ‘gustaron?

Tienes razón John. Tendría que haber dicho “me gustaron” en plural, ya que hablo de “las playas”, también plural.
Supongo que lo que pasó es que empecé a contestar mientras todavía estaba pensando la respuesta a la pregunta de Ben, que era algo así como “¿Qué es lo que más te gustó de Australia?”, por tanto utilicé la misma forma de la pregunta, “me gustó” en vez de “me gustaron”.
Saludos,
Marina.

No problem Marta,
I should have said “me gustaron” in plural, because I’m speaking about “las playas”, also plural.
I guess what happened is that I started to answer while I was still thinking about the answer to Ben’s question “¿Qué es lo que más te gustó de Australia?”, and I answered using the singular form which is the one used in the question, “me gustó” instead of “me gustaron”.
Saludos,
Marina.
