"Vi alvenas la gxustan lokon" sounds very old timey, though it is not technically wrong. Most people would say "Vi alvenas al la gxusta loko".

Dubojn? Do you want to be planting that negative possibility in a potential customer's mind? One of the rules of advertising copy-writing.

Apart from agreeing with the previous comments, I think the writer should have used "alvenis."

The base forms are oportuna - convenient, handy, opportune and regulo - a rule.

So opportunity is not well translated here by oportuno with its nuance of a favora okazo - better would be mi bonvenigus la okazon ..

If you said the dry weather presents an opportunity to repaint the windows, then you could talk of an oportuno. But there is nothing convenient or opportune in his situation. He is just looking for paid work and wants a commission to do some translation.

A magazine may regule aperi, but I doubt that he regule parolas Esperanton. And it seems unlikely that he kutime parolas la lingvon. He probably means he frequently (ofte) speaks the language.

You could say that at Esperanto Congresses oni kutime parolas en Esperanto - that is the custom, what habitually happens.
