Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi,

I am a fair way through level A2 and do not get much practice listening to Spanish speakers.  I find that I understand some of the dialogue but then a word appears that I am not familiar with and that throws me.  For me, the speed was about right should I have all the vocabulary.

I have joined a local Spanish Conversation group that meets once a month in the hope that that will improve my understanding.

Have you any suggestions on how I could better use the resources of Kwiziq to improve my understanding of spoken Spanish.  I should say that I am able to understand written Spanish in the lessons quite well.

Saludos,

Colin

Sorry, but how do I type accents, tildas and the like?

Could the following also be a valid answer without using "instantáneamente":  "y descargarán vídeos al instante."

In the example above (Es septiembre y hace calor todavía.), todavía is placed at the end of the sentence and not before/after the verb.  Is it a less common (spoken) sentence structure?

This is a nice, practical exercise for those who go to the gym with use of preterite and imperfect. The vocabulary is specialized to the gym of course, which makes it a fun challenge. I like Spanishdict.com for it´s excellent dictionary and verb conjugation tables.   I also found it helpful to check my translation with modern AIs like ChatGPT.com or Perplexity.ai  for other ways to translate this activity using terms specific to my preferred zone, Latin America.  For example in ChatGPT, you can ask:  Review this paragraph for grammar errors and clarity as if you were a professor from (your preferred country or region):  (and paste your transcription after the colon).   You can also ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to translate the original paragraph in English to the Spanish of your preferred country or region so you can see your preferred regional-style of writing.

I just reread this lesson, took the test and got both answers correct, but my score did not budge from 25.0% What am I not understanding about the scoring system?

?Por qué usas "muchAs frutAs" (género femenino) al principio de esta cuenta, pero al fin dices que "La guayaba es otrO de lOs frutOs en temporada"(género masculino)?

!gracias!

I would like to know my level based on my score. Thank you!

Why is the answer to the quiz question "Laura y Pedro vieron sangre roja en la pared" and not "Laura y Pedro vieron roja sangre en la pared"?

The lesson says that the adjective goes BEFORE the known if it is emphasizing that quality, and the hint for the question is "HINT: The adjective "red" has an emphatic nuance and red is the colour of blood"

Wow, this one is tough for B1. Lots of options for word choices regarding more complex activities, especially when it is more specialized to extreme outdoor actities. The hints are widely variable, but mostly quite limited. That´s ok, but this exercise feels more like a B2 or C1 exercise, or else put in more hints. I think A2 and B1 students will be discouraged after attempting this one.
