How in the hell is that "llegaremos"? Even with about 50 repeats I did not get that. Is she actually saying something else or how does that work? Always sounds like "digaremos" to me :-(
The first sentence in this paragraph (horrible run-on that it was) contained OVER 70 WORDS; whereas the second and third contained 6 and 9 words respectfully. I mention this because it was quite a challenge to determine when to insert the correct punctuation (i.e., period versus a comma) during this dictation. In short, this was by far the worse dictation to listen to and attempt to discern (by the speaker's intonation) when to insert ending punctuation! Please do better.
Hello,
I noticed that oler seems to be sometimes built with the preposition "a" before introducing the smell of something, such as in:
Tú hueles a perfume fresco.
or
Las galletas huelen a chocolate.
So I thought it was used in the meaning of "smelling like something", when the subject themselves smells like something. But then I also noticed it in ¿Vosotros oléis a pollo quemado?".
So is the "a" used rather when the smell has no article? What is the rule (if any)?
Thank you!
Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?
If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?
why does "a tan solo 2 minutos de empezar" mean "2 minutes before starting" but "a los 2 minutos de empezar" mean "2 minutes after starting"?.. why does the meaning change because of an added word?
Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as: "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

This sentence has subjunctive so am i right to say it means = choose whatever you like?
if it means = whatever you like, then why is cual or cuales wrong for this sentence?
thanks
The accent is misplaced on "éramos."
There should be no accent on "di."
Hi everyone!
I am a new member of the community and would like to know what to use the forums for? What are the guidelines, who are the mods etc? Thanks!
Isn´t "haber" an irregular verb for the tú imperative since it is "he" rather than "ha"?
