Is the verb "leer" another example of a verb of perception, or is it something different? Soy bibliotecario para pregunto mis estudiantes sobre leyendo. Recientemente, pregunté un estudiante "Puedes leerlo?" Ella quiso sacar un libro en íngles, pero su ingles está abajo.  La dejé por supuesto. No soy un monstruo.  So, did I ask the right question? (And please correct any errors. I was trying to work through some skills I have been learning. Writing sentences and all that.) Gracias para esta comunidad! 

I am currently taking lessons from a tutor from Latin American who told me that in describing past experiences you would specifically use the past perfecto-He viajado en Mexica instead of the preterito. You contradict this. I wonder if this means you can actually use either and it's just a preference.

Hi, in English, "Pon la mesa." would be translated as "Set the table," not "Lay the table."

In the phrase, ". . . y lo peor fue el viento, ya que tenía miedo . . . ," why does it use preterite (fue) and then imperfect (tenía)? Aren't they both describing the same time frame? 

In the example above (Es septiembre y hace calor todavía.), todavía is placed at the end of the sentence and not before/after the verb.  Is it a less common (spoken) sentence structure?

¡Hola! Tengo una preguntita...

Why do we use "es sabroso" here when in other exercises we've opted for "está rico/delicioso etc", which seems to be a similar idea?

¡Muchas gracias!

I saw this in an article on the BBC about direct and indirect object pronouns.

Escuchamos al cantante.

Le escuchamos.

Is that corrrct? I don’t get why we'd use the indirect object pronoun here. What is the direct object in this case?

What does it take to move from A0 to A1? I am allegedly testing at 89.91% at A0 right now and am puzzled why I am not able under to "Choose your focus" to select A1 material? It would seem for goal setting one should know what it takes to move up. Am I missing something?

A cerca de: "Muy de and mucho de are interchangeable."

¿Tienen sentido las oraciones:

"Lamentablemente, soy mucho de levantarme temprano, aunque no soy muy de levantarme temprano."

y

"Lamentablemente, soy muy de levantarme temprano, aunque no soy mucho de levantarme temprano."?

En la primera me veo obligado a hacer algo, en la segunda a no lo hacer.
