Spanish language Q&A Forum

This was easy to understand because it was so slow. How do I get to listen to stories in Latin American Spanish? The only ones I have found have been in European Spanish.

Is this the accent of someone from Spain? It sounded different from what I have heard in the Americas.

¿La culinaria es sinónimo de la cocina? Entonces, ¿es correcto escribir “ les encantará la culinaria colombiana?”

I believe it is possible to translate the following sentence:

¿Terminas tú el trabajo que teníamos para hoy?

as: Do you want to finish the assignment that we had for today?

If so, what is the rationale for that translation?

te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza 

In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?

Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable

Gracias
