Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hola a todos. I primarily use SpanishDict.com for my Spanish-English dictionary. Has anyone run across other options you like for LatAm Spanish? Gracias de antemano por sus sugerencias. 

consider: 

(1) she has made many sacrifices for her children

(2) she has made many books for her children

why

in (1) "for" --> por

in (2) "for" --> para

Just a question -- will all these exercises have the Spanish accent from Spain?   I am hoping to near Latin American

The translation of:

Voy a mandar hacer un vestido

is given as:

I am having a dress made

I would have thought it to be:

I'm going to have a dress made

Thanks.

To say sth is protected, are está and es interchangeable or is one preferred than the other?

"le llamo" should be accepted, no?

In the quiz, the statement was supposed to be correct: El director entregó un premio a los estudiantes.

However, the explanation seems to contradict that. Can you explain why? 

It would be incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun:

This is a great example of the stuff that really ticks me off with Progressive! In two consecutive tests, this answer has been given as "me ha robado el bolso" and "me han robado el bolso"    ----  WHICH IS IT?! The fact that one version of the indirect pronoun is obvious, but how is one supposed to know which one you are asking for?!!

Hi!

This is a general question I have about words that can both describe a hobby and an occupation. I have been wondering about the example "Soy culturista" (I am a bodybuilder). Would we only say that if we made a living from bodybuilding? Would we say "soy un culturista" instead, if bodybuilding were only a hobby? (I got the variant with un as an alternative suggestion from a translator website.)

Thank you as always!
