The word "aparentemente" is misspelled in both the list of words and in the transcript. It is pronounced correctly.

Hola,

I think “les” is an indirect object pronoun in this phrase. I thought a direct object pronoun would be used because it is “we helped them.” We are the subject they are the direct object. Can you explain?

Many thanks. John

Yo creo que la palabra ella es una combinación de las palabras el y la. Similarmente, la palabra ellos es una combinación de las palabras el y los y también la palabra nosotros es una combinación de las palabras nos y otros y también la palabra vosotros es una combinación de las palabras vos y otros. Me parece que son similares con el tipo de palabras en inglés llamada contracciones. Yo espero que yo tengo razón pero no estoy seguro de este.  Por favor me explique.

Hi there, I am a little confused as there appears to be inconsistencies in the colouring of letters which are irregular in the verb tables.
In this table only the Z is red, I understand that the letter Z is the main focus of the lesson, however almost all of this verb is irregular, and only highlighting the Z makes me question myself.
In other lessons I have seen emphasis with both red and blue, but there doesn't appear to be a regular pattern, which also casts doubt on my learning.
I know it may be a big job, but would it be possible to devise a standard practice, and then implement? Maybe a job for a Spanish intern :-)

Hi?

Would the present subjunctive ever be permissible in these constructions or only the imperfect subjunctive? 

This is really a question about one of the quiz questions:

I correctly chose the response “por más que lo intento” ________, no consigo recordar todo el vocabulario.

But would it have been grammatically incorrect to say “por más que intento, no consigo...” ?

Hola,

Just to confirm, although I think it is implied already - formal usage is with le/les?

Gracias,
