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

I´ve just learned that I can use qué+ser to definite a meaning of what is it.

Why the sentence doesn´t add ser? Thanks.

¿________ significa "presumido"?

Marked...

Wrong: ¿Queréis que Juan recite un poema?

Correct: ¿Queréis que Juan recita un poema?

Why do you use 'alguin in this sentence? Do you want anything from the shop? Because it says you cant use algo with a noun and shop is a noun.

Hi,

I am a fair way through level A2 and do not get much practice listening to Spanish speakers.  I find that I understand some of the dialogue but then a word appears that I am not familiar with and that throws me.  For me, the speed was about right should I have all the vocabulary.

I have joined a local Spanish Conversation group that meets once a month in the hope that that will improve my understanding.

Have you any suggestions on how I could better use the resources of Kwiziq to improve my understanding of spoken Spanish.  I should say that I am able to understand written Spanish in the lessons quite well.

Saludos,

Colin

Buena lectura para obtener nuevo vocabulario.

customer: quiero un café.

me: qué tamaño?

customer: pequeño por favor.

(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)

me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?

my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅 

Pensé que "encontrarse con" significaba un encuentro planeado mientras que "encontrarse a" significaba un encuentro casual. ¿Estoy equivocado?

In Spanish the word Pachamama is their way of telling if it's a masculine or feminine word.
