It would greatly enhance your course and the use thereof if you included the same “Play All” feature for all the examples given at the end of each of your approximately 600 lessons.
Could we also use “un poco de” and “unos pocos” in this manner? Thanks.
In my experience, and according to my dictionary, reflection (in a mirror or an observation) is el reflejo, unless it is the action in physics of something bouncing of something else
Interesting lesson!
I noticed a simple memory trick: use dónde with verbs, donde with nouns.
That is:
[verb] + dónde
[noun] + donde
Cheers!
But pronunciation: in the Spanish muy is the U treated as W as in ruido, cuido or is the U given strength and sounded separately. Is muy MWEE ot moo-ee or muu-ee? cuy is cwee or cuuee. I've always believed that Y is treated as another vocal. a e i o u and Y meaning that u before Y = W so muy = mwee
Carmen estaba haciendo horas extra para poder comprar una cama...
I'm wondering if it is common to use two infinitives together, as in "para poder comprar"?
Thanks
Aunque with subjunctive when information is shared / background - why? I can't find this elsewhere, only that the subjunctive is used if the information is unimportant or irrelevant. Is this what this statement on 'shared' really means?
It might have been helpful to include a little more information about El monumento al Encierro. I searched broadly but even Wikipedia had nothing on it other than that "Encierro" has to do with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However, not wishing to be defeated, after much probing I found:
El encierro es una práctica dentro de la tauromaquia que consiste en correr (dentro de una vía urbana cercada) delante de una manada no muy abundante de toros, novillos o vaquillas. Los encierros son muy populares dentro de España y América Latina, en los lugares donde se celebran Fiestas Taurinas. El Monumento al Encierro es una gran escultura del artista Jalisciense Jorge de la Peña Beltrán, que representa a siete toros y un caporal a caballo camino a la corrida donde habrán de revelar su coraje. Es una obra fundida en bronce, donde cada toro pesa por lo menos media tonelada; el caporal 1,700 kg. El monumento mide 24 metros de largo por 10.5 de ancho y tiene una altura de 6.5 metros. Su existencia es un continuo homenaje a los ganaderos aguascalentenses ya que cada toro lleva marcado el fierro de una ganadería de la zona.
¡Eso es casi suficiente para que quieras ir a verla!
