Spanish language Q&A Forum

Verb translation. According to my Spanish dictionary, the verb "colgar" means to hang whereas "upload" is cargar. I used the latter verb, because the sentence is "... I will upload a photo on my social networks."  Why was my response marked incorrect?

Pati Ecuamiga

thus declaring itself the Republic of Paraguay in 1813

The bot offers two possibilities:

1  .. proclamando así  la República del Paraguay en 1813.

2  .. proclamándose de este modo la República del Paraguay en 1813.

I put ... proclamándose así la República del Paraguay en 1813. which was marked as an error.

Is there a difference in usage between  'así´ and  'de este modo'

Also, why is it la República del Paraguay  but  la República de Argentina ?

Gracias

In the lesson, I answered the question, Maria, ___ es bastante seria normalmente cantó en público ayer, with ,"la que".  It was marked incorrect, with "que" being shown as correct.  I thought they were interchange. 

No question....just a comment.

This is the kind of exercise I have been searching for! Thank you.  By the way, I love your accent. As a beginning Spanish learner, it is easier for me to understand you than some of the other online teachers that I hear. I am curious....is Spanish your native language? I hope that someday I reach your level of fluency:)

Not really a question but this lesson could be better if in included the three rules for plural

1# ends in vowel add s

2# ends in consonant add es

3# ends in z change to c and add es.

as far as I know this is correct

I think the cave that we were going to see pasada mañana is as far from the speaker as from the listeners, and it is far. Caves are usually somewhere outside of a city. So I used aquella and even after I read the lesson I i think that it was the correct answer.

Now I know that when I listen to native speakers or have to read their WhatsApp messages, I shouldn't assume that their lo / le / las usage is correct.

I'm new. I'm a beginner and wish to learn Castilian Spanish (including the pronunciation). I just took the first lesson (above). It has "confirm" buttons after all the lines, but they all lead to an error message. And I took the "test" but it was only two questions. What is going on? Seriously, a test with only two questions? And what are the non-functional "confirm" buttons even for? Oh, and the pronunciation does NOT use Castilian Spanish in the examples where I paid attention for that.

But, what is the difference between "the parade of the Carnival groups'  and " pasa de Cabalgata" ?
