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" ?
The "hint" for the last sentence was quite misleading. Clearly, the "lit" English translation is not "what information so interesting."
Qué taninformación tan interesante información!
You could also say:
¡Qué información más interesante!
Here's the hint we gave you:Lit: What so interesting information!
Since both the Present Perfect "hemos podido viajar" and Preterite "pudimos viajar" are correct for this question (it is both limited to a set past time period and the speaker is obviously involved in the action), shouldn't the lesson explain that sometimes both options are acceptable?
Hi, In the last sentence, could you replace tal vez etc with a lo mejor, and if so, would this then take the indicative or still the subjunctive?
Many thanks
Dee
Hello! I was always taught that "asistir" was a false cognate to "assist" (to aid/help) in English. My understanding was that "asistir a" means "to attend," either attending an event/school, etc. or to wait on someone. Can you please clarify whether "asistir" in fact can be used to mean "to assist"? Thank you!

Hola Inma,
I can’t work out why whether the information is already known to the parties concerned, that the subjunctive is used [in the pretérito imperfecto].
Also why using the pretérito indefinido would indicate that the information is new information.
In other words what is the logic behind this when forming the subjunctive? I completely get the idea of a hypothetical idea requiring the subjunctive, but the aspect of whether the information is already familiar to the people concerned, is confusing me. Saludos. John
Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have?
