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? 

Why is this wrong:  Mi abuela le entretiene mucho hacer punto?

Which one is correct:

Tres es más que dos.

Tres es más de dos.

I have noticed from time to time, that "muy" can be placed in front of a noun to add emphasis to the nature of the noun it is modifying. For example: Marco es muy trabajador. Marco is a very hard worker.

                                          Laura es muy cirujana. Laura is a very skilled surgeon.

Is this a legitimate usage for muy?

Correct sentence in English should read...

It would be better if you talked to the lawyer first

In the tip it says - Unlike in English where as if is often followed by a past tense in the indicative, in Spanish como si can never be followed by a tense in the indicative or El Presente de Subjuntivo, or El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo.  But there is a C1 lesson that is about using como si followed by the indicative.  Is this tip incorrect, or am I missing something?

Hace calorcito???

The translation for final sentence in this exercise ("I would like to visit Medellín next year) was confusing for me.

I wrote:   "Querría a visitar a Medellín el próximo año. But "the best answer" was "Quiero visitar Medellín ..."

I find this confusing because I understand "quiero" to translate to I want/would like -- not I would want/I would like.

Please help up clear this confusion.

How in the hell is that "llegaremos"? Even with about 50 repeats I did not get that. Is she actually saying something else or how does that work? Always sounds like "digaremos" to me :-(

Puedo decir "con tal de que aspiren a un buen futoro en vez de con tal de aspirar?
