In the example:
Nuestra ayuda está dirigida a jóvenes sin empleo. Estas son personas que han acabado sus estudios y no han encontrado trabajo.
why is it "Estas" and not "Estos"? Doesn't this pronoun need to agree with "jóvenes" rather than "personas"?
Saludos
"También recordó las alegrías cotidianas, por ejemplo los paseos por el parque con su perro Turco y las noches de cine en casa con su familia.".My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?

Hi,
I am also a little confused by this lesson. I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above? Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence? Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?
I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.
Gracias y saludos,
Colin
Hello,
The word "dificil" in "El viento fuerte sopla hacia ti y es dificil caminar."
should have an accent: difícil?
In the Tip it says that the above este etc can be used as demonstrative pronouns. This is not quite correct as demonstrative pronouns are éste ,ésta, They have a hyphen above the e . Where as esto is similar in both cases
Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨
or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨
Thanks.
The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James
con muchas rocas instead of muchos cubitos de hielo ???
Cuántos años tiene usted? - ________sesenta años. How old are you? - I am sixty.TengoTiene
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"?
