Use of verse________ de gritar de alegría cuando la vi llegar.I was tempted to shout with happiness when I saw her arrive
I wrote me vio tentada which was was marked incorrect and should have been me vi tentada but the lesson itself talks about me vio obligado.
Would you clarify please. Many thanks. Trefor

Europe vs. Latin America

There is a note at the top of this lesson informing me that it is a Europe focused lesson, (whereas my focus is Latin America).

I learned my Spanish from a combination of university classes and living in Guatemala, so I chose the Latin American option. (However, several members of my family have learned Peninsular Spanish.) Could you explain how this lesson would be different for Latin American Spanish?

The use of antes de/despues de is very familiar Spanish to me. I found the lesson to be easily understandable and had no problem with it, so I am curious as to why it is not considered to be Latin American Spanish.

Gracias y saludos

No me gusta la cerveza para nada. How would the sentence sound without para? No me gusta nada la cerveza? Is there a difference in meaning?

Is there a stronger emphasis when using para nada/en absoluto? Thank you

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!
