No lo puedo creer que el un porciento último en la nivel a1 es tan difícil como es lo a alcanzarlo.

This is a repeated lesson usint the same verbs:  PERDER, DEFENDER AND ENCENDER.  I wonder if that was deliberate.

Hola,

Re: Se la había comprado. 

How can one tell when reading or hearing this sentence, - if it was a standalone sentence -  that the “se” means  the plural “les” .

    For example if this sentence is entered in Reverso:  “Se la abía comprado.”  they translate it as “ I had bought it for              "him”.  So there’s no way to know from the sentence that it was bought for “plural someones”.  

Would this conundrum ever happen in real life, i.e. in converstion or writing, or would it always be clear from the preceding sentence?

Thank you for your patience,

Nicole

Hola!

Espero que la Navidad haya sido muy especial y que el año nuevo también sea muy especial para usted y para todos en el equipo.

1st Section: 

It reminds me of the King Cake

Kwizbot           Me recuerda al roscón de reyes
You                  Lo me recuerdo del roscón de reyes.

I was wondering

1)why is the direct object not used here,

2) and what is the rule and lesson for understanding why “recuerda” and not “recuerdo”.  I had a thought that it might be similar to “me gusta”…

3) why the use of “al” and not of “del”

2nd section: 

Question:

Why is ser is used and not estar:

because its shape is similar

Kwizbot           porque su forma es similar/  parecida

You                  porque su forma está similar

Muchas gracias,

Nicole

A shorter sentence "mucha gente come uvas juntas" uses juntas!

Both la gente y las personas are feminine nouns. Why juntos (masculine)?

En esta lección Yo pienso que hay un ejemplo de una pronunciación que no está correcta. Este ejemplo sigue: Suelo ir a natación todas las semanas. Específicamente es la palabra "todas". Por favor escucha esta palabra Y dígame si es correcto.

" para cuidar tus amistades" : why the personal "a" is missing here?

P.S. Me gustan musho sus grasiosos e interesantes cuentos y me ayudan musho también.

(I wellcome all corrections to my Spanish.)

Muchas gracias!

and he suffered many storms during his journey.

HINT: journey = travesía.

Kwizbot                 y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.

You                        y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .

Hello, 

I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect?  I would have thought that these  storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?  

Thank you for your help in clarifying  this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

Hello,

The last sentence in this quiz confuses me. 

I understood that estar is used with feelings such as “be happy” as it is temporary. But with this “goal” after “para” you have used ser.

Please would you explain why this “to be” is ser?

Thank you.

Hello, I use several sources to learn Spanish, and the other ones suggest using Estar for relationships with husband and wife, is there any reason why they would be incorrect?  Thanks
