Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi,

The two problems with use of English posted some time ago are still not fixed.  Hence, I'm still struggling to get to grips with this lesson.

"If I went to the hairdresser's" in English means; "If I were to go".  They are equivqlent.

Similarly.  "If he had an accident"  is equivalent to " if he were  to have an accident".

In both cases, the first sentence is common usage.  The second using the the subjunctive is very uncommon in everyday English.

Hello Inma,

The C1 level is surprisingly difficult because it focuses primarily on conversational Spanish with all its nuances, intentions, implied meanings and especially its idiomatic expressions. 

James is a very happy camper! Go, Kwiziq!

Can you wait at the door?

Ustedes pueden .....etc 

Why ustedes, ustedes = they 

Is there a way reset my records to start over from the beginning of the course? 

When I am finished with level CI I am going to want to repeat the entire course again because I am moving too quickly through the lessons and the idiomatic expressions are not making it to my long-term memory. I'm doing much better with verbs, pronouns, adverbs and adjectives. Also, I need to expand my vocabulary which might be difficult considering the fact that I have no real life need or occasion to communicate in Spanish. I am doing this for intellectual satisfaction not for any specific reason.

This is very important.

My test question asked for the El Presente Continuo - i’m new to learning Spanish and skipped the question as I thought I didn’t know how to tackle Continuo - only to find that when I selected “Explain” I was directed to the El Presente Progesivo, which I have studied. So are there the two descriptions for this grammar and should your lesson not say El Presente Progesivo or Continuo (for those, like me, who don’t always think outside the box) ?

In a test question, I answered “Nosotros nos llamamos Ana y Maria” and was marked incorrect, with “Nos llamamos Ana y Maria” offered as the correct answer, yet.......your lesson on reflexive verbs uses nosotros nos in an example. I am aware that the pronouns can often be dropped but I feel a bit cheated given it is used in the lesson example and not accepted in my answer in the test question.

"Ahora casi todo es digital, es muy inmediato, cómodo, y ahorras mucho tiempol; ."  Why didn't the structure continue with the conjugation in the third person singular?  es digital; es muy inmediato; ....it is digital, it ismore immediat then:-  it saves a lot of time.   The "s" at the end of "ahorras" is not very distinct and logic would seem to demand that the last part would be "It saves a lot of time" rather than " You save a lot of time"  (in the second person familiar form)

Why did you put an accent on Cuanto más?

The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James
