Spanish language Q&A Forum

It would be nice to be able to slow down the speed of speech throughout the site. This could be done in 2 ways. 

(1) a fast or slow option could be available in the user profile to be toggled at will and would affect all spoken Spanish played aloud

(2) Where ever a speaker icon exists in quizzes, where the individual sentences are played aloud, two speaker icons could be provided, one for slow and one for fast.

It would be soooo helpful

Saludos, James

Is it just as common to say “un par de pantalones” as it is to say “unos pantalones”?  Thanks.

I don’t understand what info is being asked for here. Is it if she is willing to meet the parents? 

Thank you, Shirley. 

In this exercise, what exactly is the reason to prefer "libros buenos" rather than "buenos libros"?

Hola Inma,

The hint for the phrase "The clergy was the principal promotor ....." is to use the singular form of the verb for 'the clergy'." It should be singular form of the noun.

I enjoyed the history lesson in this exercise and definitely learned from seeing how the verbs "fundarse and instruirse" were used.

Saludos

John

Can you please provide the translation upon completion of the exercise? It would be helpful.

Why does the speaker sound like he is making some kind of extra sound before saying the first word "estoy"? I listed to it over and over and it sounds so strange to me - like a "y" or "e" sound before he says "estoy". Am I missing or misunderstanding something? Thanks!

One of the choices was "Comportándose" which was marked wrong. However, according to this lesson, wouldn't that also be correct:
Using the Spanish gerund as a command %252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dusing%252Bthe%252Bgerund%252Bas%252Ba%252Bcommand

Maybe I'm missing some reason why it doesn't work in this case? Thanks!
