Robot Voices - Are they getting betterHello all,
Not so much a question, but an observation. When you click on the little speaker symbol at the end of a Spanish sentence, the robot voice has a go at reading it out.
There seem to be three or four different robots now, when I started with Kwiziq I think that there were only two.
I call them
"Mateo" - he's the "good" Spanish man, his reading seems to be quite good. Some UK users here may know why I call him Mateo.
"Marisa" is the older sounding lady, sometimes it sounds like she struggles, and is nowhere near as good as a human, and sometimes sounds both angry and bored.
A new lady, "Maria" seems to have come along as I have moved into B2 Lessons, she sounds younger and to me much better.
So what do people think of our robot voices? If it was possible I'd ask for "Maria" to kick Marisa to the kerb, as her Spanish sounds more fluent to me.
Buenos días.
Is there a rule for -cir and -cer verbs that are preceded by a consonant? Eg in a test the verb was zurcir in the yo form: zurzo and not zurzco, so does this form of verb only change the c > z as a rule?
Why is 'buena' used to describe the coffee as good? 'El café' is masculine so I don't understand why it wouldn't be 'El café colombiano...es muy bueno.'
Thanks in advance!
Fui a Madrid hace dos años. Visité la casa de Sorolla y es un verdadero paraíso en la ciudad. ¡Que recuerdos bonitos!
I only get the same two questions and no matter how many times I answer them correctly, I never can get to 100%. How can I finish this subject?
Do I understand correctly that both tenses are possible? If so, is there a difference in meaning or are they interchangeable?
I think there is some grammar missing.
Why is it igual and not iguales if it’s referring to 7 or 12 people?
Qué semana te vas de vacaciones?
What week are you going on vacation?
There are 52 weeks in a year.
Apparently, 52 is a large enough universe to use Qué and not Cuál.
If you wanted to say: What day of the week is today?....
would you say Qué dia de semana es hoy? or Cuál dia de semana es hoy?
There are 7 days in a week.
Is 7 a small enough number to use Cuál? or....
Are you asking for a definition of the day and therefore Qué?
