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
Hello,
"compramos unas flores", "cenamos unas arepas" - is it possible to use "algunas" instead of "unas" in these examples? I've read the lessons on them but the difference between these two is still not clear for me.
Thank you,
Daria.
Hi there! One of the quizzes asks for the correct phrase in the following sentence:
Las aceitunas ________ en septiembre. (The olives must be harvested in September.)
Would it not be possible to use "han de recolectar" here instead of "deben ser recolectadas"?
DO YOU LIKE VEGETABLE SOUP? TE GUSTA LA SOPA VERDURAS WHY te gusta why not te gustan por que verduras are plural noun por favor explique.
Why is está used for the sentence La mahonesa está deliciosa?
Is it because they're speaking about that specific mayonnaise rather than mayonnaise in general?
Doesn't coger mean the f swear word? What can I use in Latin America to say coger without getting laughed at/smacked in the face?
I am confused by the second sentence of this short paragraph. Why is the article "el" needed (required) before the color names?

Hola,
In the sentence above, which was in a test today, is 'la' necessary? I would have thought that it would be 'de educación'.
By the way, I cannot type accents in this dialogue box, I cut and paste from my word processor. Is there a way to type accents in here?
Also another answer is mixed up:
Prefiero ________ armario porque es más grande. because it is bigger.)I prefer that wardrobe (over there(HINT: The speaker is referring to a wardrobe that is far away from the speaker and the listener.)
Gracias y saludos,
Colin
Proteger becomes protejo in first person present tense. Can’t you pretty much always dro the o and have the stem for the present subjunctive? For me, it is easier to remember.
You said the answer was supé and not supe. I have been unable to find an example in your lesson that uses the accent mark. What am I missing here and where can I find an example of supe with the accent mark along with an explanation_
