Why is 'buena' used to describe the coffee as good? 'El café' is masculine so I don't understand why it wouldn't be 'El café colombiano...es muy bueno.'

Thanks in advance!

The organic learning curve and the intelligent and variable selection of topics in Kwiziq are priceless. Kwiziq enhances my motivation and progress like no other Spanish learning software can do. I have tried many of them and their shortcomings are now so obvious.

Big kudos to you all!

I have gotten confused by a specific use of the personal a.  As I understand it, if you are mentioning a person or group of people, you need a personal a infront of the person.  For example if I am talking about a reporter mentioning Juan, I might say El reportero mencionó a Juan.  It also looks like if I want to say that the reporter mentioned Juan to Ana, I should say  El reportero mencionó Juan a Ana.  

Is this correct?  Is this also a general pattern - i.e. when I would normally use a personal a, but there is an indirect object (Ana), should I always drop the personal a and use the a for the indirect object?

Thanks

Hola Inma,

Please could you advise me?

When speaking casually as in the conversation here, is it generally more common to use 'estar' than 'sentir' regarding 'to feel'?

Gracias :)

Hello,

one of the sentences to be translated was: They were even better than in my dreams.

Why isn't it "mejores" here? "Eran aún mejores que en mis sueños."

Thanks!

Thank you , this is a really good reading exercise text.

English text had an issue: "explaining it's working"?? - not correct.  You would say perhaps, "explaining how the gym worked, or functioned (in general - thus the rules of the gym, or how to use the gym), or explaining how a particular machine worked.

Hi Inma, a suggestion, give an example with decir. Or would this be incorrect? E.g. Le dijo a ella. He told her. (She is affected in some way by him telling her).
