Hi there, In English it would be ‘rims of the glasses’ not ‘rim of the glasses’. The sentence you have written for translation uses the singular, which is incorrect. Rims would be in the plural, not singular. In Spanish it appears the singular is used not the plural ‘frota el borde de los vasos’. Is this correct?

Hi Inma,

that's interesting. I will check when my grammar books were printed.Thanks for your prompt reply

Hi, can we get translations for the Spanish dictation exercises? That would be an awesome feature. Currently I translate everything by hand. (Don't mean to sound demanding. Just as a suggestion for future implementations maybe. I would probably put the translation on the same page where we get a chance to compare our answer to the one kwizbot expects. Or, if that reveals too much context, at the end of the lesson.)

Hi, can we use antes and despues for dates? For example "before Friday" or "after Monday".

Hi, I was organizing my tenses chart and realize there's only "Pretérito perfecto simple" that can find "fui" in both ser and estar. I cannot find a page that shows "El Pretérito Indefinido", I'm wondering are this two tenses the same thing?

Thanks,

Hayley

Hi, from previous discussions I understands there's no easy to identify "ser" and "estar", however may I confirm "en" must come with "estar". And if I see "a/al" it must come with "ir" (ir and ser have same El Pretérito Indefinido)? 

Thank you, Hayley

In general it would be interesting to know something of the regional identity of speakers. The visit to Barcelona text is uncomplicated but at times it is hard to precisely follow the speaker even after the text has been read - his voicing of llegué just one example. He speaks slowly but would a native speaker be able to identify his accent, more or less?
