Viernes, mi día favoritoHello lovely people, it's Friday which means we get a new set of weekend workouts, literally my best part of the week.
Inma, I love the dictations, even though I'm not very good at them yet, however I have two general questions about them, and wondered if you could help.
1. Vocabulary - When I listen to lessons, even lessons A1, I encounter vocabulary that I don't know. When the dictacions are written, are you using this as an opportunity to expand our vocabulary, or are you writing within what you expect us to know? I don't mind which, I just wondered if my vocab is weak. I use it as a learning opportunity!
2. English translation - I believe that the dictations are the only place where we don't see an English translation of what was said / written. Is this intentional? As per my point above, I sometimes don't know the words even when they are written, and I use SpanishDict to translate. This has some disadvantages, for example in today's A1 exercise, Spanishdict translated "partes" meant as anywhere in your text, to "private parts", as in on a human :-)
Thanks, now back to work.
This is one of the sentences for this lesson:
Yo no como nunca pescado, ¿y tú? (I never eat fish, and you?)
This sounds awkward to me. Shouldn't it be
Yo nunca como pescado. ? (Without 'no' and putting nunca before the verb)
When you say that we use "por culpa de" for something with a negative result and use the example as given above " por culpa de mi novio soy la mujer más feliz del mundo........" Why do you say that this sentence has a negative result?
I understand that saying:
"Hoy, hace mucho calor" and "Hoy hace frio" are both correct.
Is it correct to use the adjective, "caliente" to describe the weather?
And, if so, would you say: "Esta mucho caliente." or "Hace mucho caliente." ?
Gracias!

Hola,
Ahora mismo tengo muchas ganas de comerme un helado de chocolate.
Is there something to be inferred about the addition of me to the end of comer? As in some extra desire, or is this just another way of saying the same thing with no subtlety of difference?
Gracias,
In the 1st person and 3rd person singular in the given examples I notice that the words from the verb 'to be able to', i.e 'could' and 'couldn't' are used. In sentences like these would we just have to be aware that these words are implied?
Thank you
Clari.
In the test question about Pideselas.. The aswers the computer listed were:
1. Order them for them
2. Order them for her
3. Order them for him.
I feel #2 and #3 answers are wrong. Would you please check of that. I could be wrong myself. Thank you.
Hola forum y los expertos
Mi pregunta es sobre la traduction de 'since they have became so popular on the market' a 'desde que se hiciesen tan populares en el mercado'.
¿Es possible decir también 'desde que se hayan hecho tan populares en el mercado'?
