The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James
Hello,
Why should you use the imperative in the conditional if the present tense suffices?
In this lesson it is taught that you have to use the imperative in the conditional if you want to give advice.
However, in the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause (present tense/future tense)" there are also sentences that give advice without using the imperative.
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
Hi, I encountered this question but the answer key is wrong. Ella se ________.
She was taking a bath.(HINT: Conjugate "bañar (se)" in El Imperfecto Progresivo/Continuo)estaba bañandoestaba bañadoThe sentence ending
y conseguirá el mejor colegio para a tus hijos.
Do we have to use the personal a after prepositions? I have never seen this before.
I used to think Spanish was an easy language, but that was before I actually started learning it earnest.
I am now at 17% in level BI. Although the program reports a steady increase in my confidence, I am hanging onto it by a thread. The difficulty of the language is increasing geometrically.. I don't even want to think about levels B2 and C1

2nd paragraph: Is there a lesson that discusses "que" used to mean "to be?"
I searched on "que" and got 1620 hits, so I scanned the first 60 and did not see "que" and "to be" in any lesson title.
I keep getting these questions wrong and I think it’s down to not being able to differentiate between whether a word is an adjective or a noun. Is there any way to tell of a word is a noun or an adjective without knowing the direct translation for that word?
In the sample sentences "¿Pudiste contactar con tu abogado?" and "¿Has podido contactar con Gabriel?" are there contextual clues that explain why one is indefinite and the other is perfect? Do they have different meanings?
