I'm new. I'm a beginner and wish to learn Castilian Spanish (including the pronunciation). I just took the first lesson (above). It has "confirm" buttons after all the lines, but they all lead to an error message. And I took the "test" but it was only two questions. What is going on? Seriously, a test with only two questions? And what are the non-functional "confirm" buttons even for? Oh, and the pronunciation does NOT use Castilian Spanish in the examples where I paid attention for that.
Under the listening practises, there are some being read by a male speaker but is the accent of this male speaker from Spain? it seems like he has an unique accent that is unidentifiable.
What kind of accent is he having, may i ask?
And i have tried to post questions directly under the exercises but wont able to and received an error code 500.
"quien había fallecido"
Just wondering, why is it que in the first example and quien in the second?
One of the examples is:
Su actitud se volvió violenta de repente.
Is it correct to assume that the change is a lasting one, as with someone who got hit on the head with a shovel and after that was a violent person?
Compared to:
Su actitud se puso violenta de repente.
In this case, cowboys in a saloon in a Western movie insult someone and he stands up quickly and draws his gun?
Just want to double check that these differences are correct. Thanks.
When I read into this, I found it a little confusing, we would actually say, he was meeting the lawyer tomorrow, to mean, He is meeting the lawyer tomorrow.
I think we say it as it was a decision taken before the present or the future. So for once a literal translation would work?
Is there a comprehensive rule for when to use (or not use) PARA before an infinitive? I sometimes encounter examples where para is used without the sense of "purpose" that is supposed to trigger the use of "para." In other words, I can't use the rule "in order to" to translate these sentences.
Cuándo estaba en Australia, tenía muchos problemas para hablar inglés.
Tuvimos muchas dificultades para encontrar la parada de autobús.
Fue un día demasiado bueno para quedarse adentro.
In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"?
I incorrectly answered "para" because there was a specific time of day in the sentence. I am thinking that was not correct if this translates (loosely) as "sometime in the morning I eat breakfast at 9am". So a/en/por would be correct for this?
Juan trajo unas flores a Ana.
Juan brought Ana some flowers.
Juan le trajo unas flores.
Juan brought her some flowers. (To whom? To Ana).
Why is le used instead of se. Se means her
Le duele la pierna.
His/her/your leg hurts. here you use le for her too. is other place wrong?
