A good exercise ! - but perhaps more at B2 rather than B1 level? - [no worries !]
However, I am a bit puzzled by two words (written here in bold letters) in "Aún así no importa como esté el tiempo" - I confess that I thought "cómo" should carry an accent, and that the first two words should be "Aun así ..." [> ? could they be translated as: "In any event, (it does not matter ...)"] - although I do realise that I might not have completely understood the meaning here of "aún".
Thank you Inma; thank you Shui - keep up the good work !

Since I wrote that^ I've been chewing it over, and maybe I can now see an alternative translation which might fit the use of "como" with no accent > ? Something like: "Even with weather like that, there will be nothing to worry about". Perhaps both 'como' and 'cómo' are permissible, but with different meanings?
Hola Inma,
could we use " De haberlo sabido antes" insted?
Hola Inma,
Cociné esta comida la semana pasada y es aún mejor que se puede imaginar. La combinación de las verduras [pimientos rojas y verdes y tomates] en un caldo de pescado es perfecto para un día frío .... pero no te olvides al menos dos dientes de ajo. Las patatas terminan la textura del plato perfectamente. Tenemos la suerte tener pescaderías excelentes en nuestra región [de Irlanda] así que no es difícil comprar atún fresca.
Para información: El nombre inusual es de "Marmite" [de francés], que es una tipa de cacerola metálica con una tapa. "Marmitako" es lo que se llama en el país vasco. Además, en el oeste de Cantabria este plato se llama "Sorropotún," y en el este y en el centro de la costa, "Marmita." Todo el mundo debería probarlo. Saludos. John
This may not be related to this lesson but how do you know when to add 'de' in between the adjective and the noun? For example:
No leiste ningún libro de italiano. (Here there is a 'de' in between 'libro'and 'italiano'.)
La florista no vende ninguna flor amarilla. (Here 'flor'and 'amarilla' are together)
How do you know when to add a 'de'?
Thanks.
Suppose I wanted to say something like, "I wouldn't have minded if they got married, I was seeing someone else", or "I didn't care if the wrecked their's appetite with ice cream, I wasn't going to make dinner anyway" is there no combination of tenses that would admit the use o "por mí que"?
Just wondering what triggers the subjunctive in this example sentence from the lesson:
Se trata de que nos reunamos para pasar un buen rato
Thanks.
Is there a stronger emphasis when using para nada/en absoluto? Thank you
Emanuel
In the last example “Aquello me tiene un poco preocupado”, may I suggest using the English verb have instead of get... It has me a bit worried. (It was a bit confusing for me.) Thank you.
How do you use the above expression ,how is it conjugated? For example, how would I say " the situation got out of hand " ? Where does "alguien" come into it? Thank you
