Your version would be correct because you are saying that you want to meet the boss personally as explained above

Wow! I didn’t realize that the personal a is valid only when you actually know a person.
In that case, would it be incorrect to say, “Quiero conocer al jefe?”

Yes! We are very pleased with how this video turned out, it was a replacement of another video where the people were just not happy with the audio qualities so Isabella stepped up and re-recorded it not that long ago, turned out really well!

Hola!
Short answer, yes, totally correct!
Long answer, as you will see later on in the course the above sentence you have written is correct, some Spanish people add an extra N on the end of Gusta when they make it plural, this will be discussed later in the course, but I don’t want it for the time being…..
I get a lot of questions asked about this as Duolingo puts an “a” before the whole lot. Am I waffling??

So for me to say “james likes apples” for example, would this be … James le gusta manzanas?. Muchas gracias

I’ve only got the apostrophes one and the fact tha Spaniards say the noun first and then the adjectives. What am I missing? Thanks
