I used to love to watch the Hollywood production of 'El Cid' as a youngster. At Christmas of 2019, my daughter and I went to Burgos (where so many of my family & ancestors are from) and we saw El Cid's grave in the beautiful Cathedral of Burgos.

Voy a ver la serie en Amazon Prime :))

I thought this was an excellent exercise.

I would like to see more short videos like this with the transcription to help train our ear to decipher to run on words that are difficult to decipher when natives speak naturally.

Creo que además de frases coloquiales, es lo que más me falta en nivel C1

Gracias

Una pregunta sobre el Imperfecto de subjuntivo

I was curious...

En esta frase, "Me recomendó que practicase meditación y que tuviera una actitud positiva." Es muy común que una persona mezcle ambas formas del imperfecto de subjuntivo dentro de la misma oración?

sino > si no

Perhaps "espero encontrarla porque sino los villancicos no serán los mismos" can also be rendered: "espero encontrarla porque si no los villancicos no serán los mismos" ? … Are both versions equally acceptable, or is one preferred over the other?

Me lo dejé - why does it need the me?I am using the Pimsleur course. Currently i am on a section where the actor keeps saying 'me lo dejé en la mesa' for 'I left it on the table'.

Now everywhere I look online it suggests that this should only say 'lo dejé' and not 'me lo dejé'. Why would they add 'me'? It doesn't feel like it needs it, as the 'I forgot' bit is understood by dejé, and the 'it' by lo. It isn't reflexive I don't think.

Thanks!

Sentence in quiz

This is not about one of the examples here, but a question in the quiz:

"Me encanta la cocina francesa, ya sea lo salado o lo dulce."

I would have expected "la salada o la dulce" because I thought it would refer back to la cocina. Why is this change in gender?
