Spanish language Q&A Forum

I wonder if there is a discussion of the pronunciation of these two words. Depending on the speaker, they sound the same to me. I have noticed in some accents in the north, there's a slight "l" sound in the ll, and even my late great uncle (from the north of Spain) had explained to me that this is a thing, but also he explained this to me a long, long ago and I just want to know if I'm hearing things correctly or if my brain's making it up. ¡Gracias!

If you are also an elderly man? Can you use "¿Cómo estás?" when greeting Gerardo?

Hola,

I think " te voy a enseñar" is also valid. Isn't it?

Saludos

This article talks about using El Presente to express general facts, simple enough... 

... however my qualm is with the use of Ser vs Estar. My understanding was that ser would be used to generally describe things which don’t change over a prolonged period of time, eg. Relationships, jobs, generally accepted facts etc. 

Therefore I was terribly confused when the correct response to one of your questions was: 

“Francia está en Europa”.

Whereas the example on this page states:

“Roma es la capital de Italia.” 

Both of these seem like general facts with a geographical theme... where do I draw the line? 

Apologies for the essay! Haha

In a question requiring the answer "Sevilla es una de las ciudades más bonitas de España" I put en instead of de and was marked incorrect. However, as the lesson states, this isn't incorrect but simply 'less common'. In fact, isn't it so that a closer translation of the 'de' here might be '...one of the most beautiful Spanish cities' rather than '...cities in Spain'?

So, is it incorrect to say - Debo comer- Is the use of deber covered in other lessons?

Thanks

Vivo en España - aquí usamos la palabra ‘unos’ o algunos..para mi este lección es confuso
