> My boyfriend is always asking me to be patient with him.

Translating this into the English subjunctive would be “My boyfriend is always asking that I be patient with him.” And that keeps the “que=that” part of things too!

when we want to say a scary movie, or a funny movie etc, do we always use 'de' + whatever noun of the category?

for example, scary movie = pelicular de terror, pelicular de miedo. rather than pelicular asustado = scary in adjective forms rather than nouns.

Hello,

I was confused as to why it's (y voy a salir de casa temprano) and not (y voy a salir la casa temprano)

Puedo decir "con tal de que aspiren a un buen futoro en vez de con tal de aspirar?

Hi! Haven't been here in a while, now trying to improve my listening comprehension again. So I've been thinking:

Listening comprehension in Peninsular Spanish seems to be different from the Latin American variants, at least I, personally, struggle to understand some of them more than others. As I've seen that there's a whopping 770 items on the listening comprehension list, do you happen to have lessons that have some degree of specialization regarding the variant spoken in the lesson? If no, I think this would be an interesting feature. If yes, then being able to filter by that would be awesome. (And I understand that this would be a major task given the number of variants, but I thought I might still ask).

Hope you have a great weekend!

My memory is poor and when writing in the listening exercises I really need to hear the dictation twice in most sections. It seems we can only listen once to each section? 

I understand it grammatically or literately. What I am trying to figure out is what the semantics is. The sentence seems breaking the semantic chain of the text. What is the author trying to tell us?

Hola Inma,

Solo quería saber, ¿De qué parte de España es el orador en este ejercicio?

He escuchado tantas veces la frase donde dice, 'tus relaciones' y sé que es 'tus', pero me parece que está diciendo 'tu'. Supongo que es debido a su acento, ¿no? 

¿O tal vez mis oídos son el problema?No estoy segura! ;))

Hi, why is preterite used here instead of the imperfect? The preterite implies that Ustedes no longer exist.
