Spanish language Q&A Forum

I think I'm finally getting more accustomed to listening to and comprehending spoken Spanish from a variety of places within Spain and other Spanish speaking countries, largely thanks to Kwiziq along with listening to podcasts and watching a lot of films on Netflix. It is the thing I struggle with most. Having lived for many years in the Canary Islands, I tend to better understand the Spanish spoken there, which I believe has a more Latin American or Caribbean style(?). My late dad was a Madrileño, and I don't do too badly with the Spanish speakers from that área in Spain either.

I'm grateful to this gentleman that recites a lot of the exercises for us, as he really forces me to listen carefully. I'm getting used to his way of speaking now thankfully! With this exercise I also learnt two new verbs: 'menospreciar'= to underestimate or to undervalue and from this verb 'preciar'= to appreciate.

Thanks to all at Kwiziq for all your hard work. Estoy muy agradecida. 

Saludos :)

Why is it "sigue" and not "siguen" in the following sentence? - Además, un 62 % de los latinoamericanos sigue una dieta especial...

Most of this seems too awkward of grammar. Like that.

I think you will have had to be desperate to speak to utter this.

Is there any advice to practice the rythm of spanish?

Él habría abierto la puerta.He would have opened the door.The speaker really says Habriabierto. 
I think spanish should be taught this way but then how would that work?

Buenas tardes,

Within the context of the passage, would I be right in saying that, "...sobran guionistas a patadas..." means "there are plenty of or more than enough screenwriters"? 

Gracias de antemano 😊

How to I remove Latin America lessons from Dashboard?

What is impeative?

Thank you for clarifying that this expression functions similar to the verb gustar.  I believe that the gustar structure is sometimes used with 3rd person plural, such as "Me gustan las películas."  Is there ever a time that "dar a alguien por algo" is used with 3rd person plural when followed by a plural noun?  For example, if I wanted to say "Now that my friend has retired, she has taken up new hobbies," would I still say, "Ahora que mi amiga se ha jubilado, le ha dado pasatiempos nuevos"?  Thank you!
