Spanish language Q&A Forum

Estoy wondering que es la differencia entre Español spoken ayer than in Latin American. I know  “ll” is a hard L ( ama-re-lia) instead of a soft double LL as used in la palabra “amarillo” in Latin America. What are some other differences? 

Hola,

what about words that start with "hie-"? The o changes into u or not?

Está hecha de madera o/u hierro?

Muchas gracias

Hi,

Just wanted to share a thought as a person using this platform to learn Spanish. At the end of the exercise when you show the whole text in Spanish, I feel like it would be helpful if you showed the entire text in English as well, as it would help in trying to look back at how you translated everything as a whole. 

 When I look at these two examples from the English to the Spanish there is no clear indication of why  the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is being used vs. the condicional.
