Puedes ayudarme con una oración en un libro estoy leyendo….No se si el autoro usa la palabra en una manera poética or es normalmente y correcto?  Trying to understand if Aturdir and irritar are normally used like the above verbs ‘ like gustar etc.  The following sentence from New Penguin short stories in Spanish [ de la cuenta ‘ La Indiferencia de Eva].    Me aturden las personas muy activas y, si son mujeres, me irritan. 

Hello!  I thought the hint for "to sign up for" was "inscribirse a."  The correct response was "inscribirse en."  Are both forms acceptable?  Thank you!

cuál/cuáles is that the latter is asking about something specific from a predetermined group of items. 

Names are a predetermined group of items?

Shouldn't the English translation listed be "We [sit] on the bench that's furthest away." Instead of "We [are sitting] on the bench that is furthest away. 

I understand that you are asking for the El Presente conjugation of sentarse in this question. I originally answered it as something like "estamos sentiando" because I saw [are sitting]. 

Because in another question a few below goes like "Ella [esta comiendo] en el restaurante." I understand this one is asking for Presente Progresivo/Continuo.  

Por favor, enséñanos la pronunciación y la entonación correctas.

Hola Inma, 

Is there a reason why the construction “llegar a conocerse” doesn’t work in this context?

I felt that the text “get to know each other” required something that would capture the process over time [llegar a], rather than simply the reflexive verb [conocerse], or is it simpler than that? Saludos. John

In this quiz question - you cannot hear the "el" being pronounced. But the answer is correct with "el"

Voy a visitar a mi amiga el lunas.

How do native Spanish speakers typically handle the following situations:

Case 1:

You look up and see some birds (either los pájaros or las aves). Which are typical to say?

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitos!

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitas!

or would you be more specific? 

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitos los pájaros!

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitas las aves! 

Case 2:

Your friend is holding something in his/her hands. You can't see for sure but you are certain it is one of the following:

  a lizard (un largato) 

  a salamander (una salamandra)

  a toad (un sapo) 

  a frog (una rana) 

Or maybe you think of it simply as una cosa or un animalito or un bicho, un monstruo, una bestia, etc. 

What might you typically say:

¿Qué tienes? Tráemelo.

¿Qué tienes? Tráemela.

Thanks.

Without the pop ups this would have been difficult to understand. It lacks the clear sound and prosidy of my favorite lady hispanohablantes. However, another worthwhile experience . . .
