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?
I think it should be noted that there are some additional adverbs which can be combined with de:
cerca (de)
adelante (de)
arriba (de)
Please confirm/update?
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 :-(
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".

Why does the word "llamáis" (or a lot of other verb forms for vosotros) have an accent on the penultimate syllable even though it ends with the letter s?
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.
I saw it in spain and "IT WAS WONDERFUL". Shouldn't it be in Imperfecto because we are kind of giving description here of how it was. But it was marked wrong. It was "fue marvillosos" . Please answer???
One of the examples given is: "Nadie responde...lo mismo el restaurante ha cerrado." Can you say the same thing and exchange "lo mismo" for "quizas": "Nadie responde...quizas el restaurante haya cerrado."?
Is this expression used only in Spain? I cannot find more information about the usage of this idiom. My teacher has not heard of this either.
