Online tutors...

I'd like to ask if any of the students here have had any online classes with a Spanish Tutor? Now that Kwiziq have partnered with LenguaTalk I've been thinking about having some classes, since I really want and need to start speaking this beautiful language. Until now, I've never felt confident about choosing a company since there are so many.

If anyone one has had any classes: How has your experience been? Is it making, or has it made, a valuable difference in your Spanish language journey? Do you consider it value for money?

I have looked at some of the teachers introduction videos and they all seem lovely people. It's hard to choose out of them all! 😀

Suffix for Quijote, cito or cilloSuffix -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas

When the noun ends in a consonant or the vowel -e we tend to keep the whole word and add -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas. Hola, the lesson on the suffix cito etc says it applies to words ending in e. So which would be the correct suffix to add to Quijote? cito or cillo? Muchas gracias, Shirley.

Adjectives + prepositions

Is there a list anywhere of which adjectives take which prepositions? I’m C1 level and still make mistakes at times! Would be great to have a comprehensive list!

José y María

I've listened over and over and can't hear the Y in "José y María".

Is it not there or am I just unable to hear it?

Are 'al atardececer' and 'al atardecer' the same? I can't find atardececer in any dictionary.

Hacer meaning to travel???This question suggested conjugate Hacer but the tranlation said 'travel' I don't understand why we would use hacemos instead of viajamos in that context? We would never say 'we do (or make) 200 to get to work' in English and I can't find any suggestion online that hacer is used to describe travel but perhaps it is a quirky Spanish anomaly? Thanks for your help to understand this one :)

El origen del turrón

In the video, the second sentence sounded to me like ´los deportistas griegos..´ But in the text it says ´los deportistas ciegos´. Since it talked about las Olimpiadas, would ´griegos´more likely be what the narrator said?

I'm still not sure as to when you use De as opposed to Si.
