Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex:  Quieres arroz?  Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex:  Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex:  Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!  

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful. 

You might have fried too much the potatoes.

You might have fried the potatoes too much.  (Is better in English)

So when we say we 'wonder' in english we are also saying that we 'speculate'? 

And how does that indicate the future when we are currently speculating? How does speculation imply the future? Is it that some result could eventually be revealed?

I see now, helps to write it out.

This is more of a complaint that a question. There is confusion in tense nomenclature. What is often referred to here as Pretérito Perfecto is really Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto.  

The Pretérito Perfecto Simple is referred to Pretérito Indefinido.  The action in the Pretérito Perfecto Simple has definitely been "perfected".   When doing quizzes quickly I often make a mistake when the Pretérito Perfecto is asked for. It would be nice if a uniform terminology were used in the teaching of Spanish

I was hoping to learn Mexican pronunciation  but you use the Spanish pronunciation using the th sound instead of c sound.  Are the listening exercises also going to use the vosotros  grammar forms or Mexican grammar?
