Spanish language Q&A Forum

Although we have had the sound with the video, it would be helpful to have somebody reading SLOWLY the text..In this way we can listen to the words and listen at the same time.  This is how the French module is set up.  It helps us learn.  Graçias!

Newbie here: I’ve always been told that Spanish accent is usually on the penultimate vowel, and only the exceptions need an explicit tilde mark. 

However, there are conjugations, like actuéis where the accent mark is on the penultimate vowel. I would have thought that the accent wasn’t needed anymore. Any place I could go to with a fuller explanation?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have mentioned before the speed at which some of the example sentences are said and I wondered whether it is structured.

I presume that this lesson is solely for A1 level students.  If so, there is a sentencs that is so fast that I cannot hear all of the syllables.  

In "Andrea juega al ..." I find it difficult to hear all of the syllables near the start of the sentence.

Could it be that the sentences are slowed for the lower levels and speeded up as we become more adept at listening to Spanish?

Sorry to complain but I find the course suits my needs and this tweak would make it even better for me.  I don't know whether others would agree.

Many thanks.

A great article which I thoroughly enjoyed and will watch and read a few more times. Why was the word "desgustar" used as: "bebidas para desgustar"? Is it an entendre doble somehow? Maybe disfrutar?
