Spanish language Q&A Forum

En este caso para yo, el contexto no es importante.

En la programa, se dice, 

"No podemos escuchar bien = We can't hear well." .

Siempre pensaba que escuchar quiere decir "to listen" y oír quiere decir "to hear". 

Por favor lo explícame la diferencia.

The phrase: y así devolver a esas personas un poco de su ayuda en el pasado.

I can't figure out from the literal tx whether the "de" should be "por":

y así devolver a esas personas un poco por su ayuda en el pasado.

If the intent is thank the older generation for their past help, surely "por" is more appropriate, no? Or does "de" somehow imply "for"?

is “Fueron vacaciones fantásticas”  ok or is it awkward in spanish? Muchas gracias! Shirley. 

Hi, the article makes no reference to “me recuerda” without either an “a” or a “que”, but several of the questions require this answer. John suggested a year ago that the article account for this situation: 

“For the sake of completeness I would make a small change.

Something “reminds me of” OR “is similar to”: Do not omit the “a” [from Recordar + a]

Something “is brought to mind”: Omit the “a” [from Recordar + a].

Something reminds me that: Use Recordar + que”

 If John is correct, could you please make this change because as it stands the article seems incomplete. Thanks!
