Questions & Answers about Me alegro de que tu autoestima vuelva a mejorar con este avance.

Why is there a de before que in Me alegro de que?
The verb alegrarse (to be glad or happy) requires the preposition de to connect to what you are happy about (e.g., Me alegro de tu éxito). When that object is a full clause starting with que, you must keep the de. Dropping it to say Me alegro que is a very common grammatical error known as queísmo.
Why is volver in the subjunctive form (vuelva)?
The main phrase, Me alegro de que, expresses an emotion. In Spanish, whenever you express an emotional reaction about a different subject's action, the verb in the dependent clause (here, vuelva) must be in the subjunctive mood.
How does vuelva a mejorar translate to "is improving again"?
The structure volver a + [infinitive] is the standard way to say "to do [action] again" in Spanish. Instead of using an adverb like otra vez or nuevamente, Spanish commonly uses this verb phrase. Here, it is combined with mejorar (to improve) to mean "improving again."
Is autoestima feminine or masculine?
It is feminine: la autoestima. Even though it ends in -ma (which often marks masculine words of Greek origin like el problema or el sistema), the root word is estima (esteem), which is feminine. Adding the prefix auto- does not change the gender.
