I am not sure if this is the right place but the links for the first two practice exercises in the book are no longer being hosted at the site they were. They should probably either be redirected to another suitable location or taken off.

Ĉu vi parolas la hispanan? is ambiguous?
Ĉu vi parolas la hispanan = do you speak spanish Ĉu vi parolanta la hispanan = are you speaking spanish

It's not ambiguous as far as I know. Esperanto does have a present continuous tense, this statement implies it doesn't.

"Ĉu vi parolanta la hispanan" means something like "Speaking you Spanish (adj)?" I believe you mean "Ĉu vi estas parolanta/parolantas hispanon". Interchangeable (discuss • contribs) 16:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
