Nuevas tecnologías

Is ´"tecnologías nuevas" wrong? I thought nueva could be put before or after the noun?

A suggestion

Though it is a bit formal sounding, another way to translate the passive form in English referring to a '"general you", i.e. people in general ', is "ONE must/can...". For example "One must always tell the truth".

I find that helps me differentiate between "you must" - debes (a specific person), and the passive "One must" - se debe (people/individuals in general)

Estuve vs Estaba

Why use estaba when saying “I was very calm and happy”? It didn’t seem like an ongoing action in the past but one defined by “after my swim”. Why not estuve?

The confusion in understanding these "Nasty" lo, la, los, las, le, les,se

Buenos Dias,

Please, help to understand, once for all, these "nasty" Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns:

Ex: Laura se lo compro = Laura bought it for her. Can also be Laura bought it for him? How can we make the difference? Also, the English sentence can be translated in Spanis like "Laura se la compro?" Thanks for help, Michael Aldea.

animar [a] — use of “a” required?

Do the brackets around “a” mean that it can be used at the speaker’s discretion, or its use sometimes or always required?

Could I have said, “Os animo que vengáis” or “Me han animado comprar un perro” ?

Vamos hacer

Why not "vamos a hacer" in the example. Is there a lesson I missed about this that you can refer me to?
