I ask because in the recording for "Yo vivo en Córdoba" it's a "yo" sound. But for the "Yo vivo en el barrio de Gràcia" recording it's a soft j sound resulting in "jo".
When I practice at Duolingo I also sometimes here the y vs. j difference. Are both interchangeable in Spanish? If no, what are the rules for choosing j vs. y?
Or, is the recording audio simply not of good quality?
Hello,
I think there is a mistake in this lesson. Where you have ¿Váis a comer el pollo? Should it not be ¿Vais a comer el pollo? - No accent over the "a" in vais.
Considering estar can be used in the preterite and imperfect with the present participle ( gerund ), are they used in different ways? Or do they mean the same thing? For example, do:
"Estuve corriendo" and "estaba corriendo" mean the same thing? I was running. Is one used more than the other for any reason?
Sé que la pista era para conjugar "ser", pero no entiendo porqué "éramos" es la unica que funciona aquí
Es inválido "fuimos"?
It says in the lesson that you can use "mientras" or "mientras que" with the subjunctive to mean "as long as" or "provided that". Is there any difference between these two forms?
Hi,
Which verb does the word Vernos come from or is a standalone word? I cannot find it in the conjugation of Ver.
Thanks.

I am wondering why in the question "Which of the following expressions are followed by the subjunctive?" the option "Parece que" was marked as incorrect? There is no any information about it in the explanation. However it is followed by the subjunctive, isn't it?
La/le esperó dos horas.
Is 2 hours a direct object in, "I waited [for] 2 hours."?
