I think = creo = I create. How would someone know which I mean?

Por qué hay una coma entre y otra coma después de ?

In the reading, the sentence "A que no te lo imaginabas?" is translated as "Can you imagine?".  It seems like that translation is missing some nuance.  After reading through the corresponding lesson, it seems like more accurate translation would be "I bet you wouldn't have imagined it!".  Would this be accurate, or am I missing something?

Hola, what does ya mean in this sentence. Muchas gracias, Shirley. 

I would translate this as "Take any dish."

Coge cualquier plato. 

I would translate this exactly the same way.

Under what circumstances would one choose to use either one?

Are these words indeterminate and/or invariable and what are the meanings or other examples of indeterminate and invariable?

If I wrote:

¿Puede venir cualquiera a mi fiesta? 

Can anyone come to my party?  Would that be incorrect?

I understand that when "tal vez" and "quizas" are used, they can be followed by either subjunctive or indicative mood.  But "a lo mejor" only accepts indicative mood.  And, since "tal vez", "quizas", and "a lo mejor" can all be translated as "maybe" in English, this creates some confusion for English speakers.  My question is this: even though they are all tranlated as "maybe" in english, does the phrase "a lo mejor" convey less doubt/uncertainty than "tal vez/quizas" in spanish?

Dear Inma,

What is the reason for having the part "De tanto/tan poco que/como + indicative" instead of "De tanto que/como + indicative" with "De tan poco que/como + indicative" being covered in the previous part "De tan+ adjective/adverb + que/como + indicative"?

Best regards, Janusz

For those that might be interested...

The adaptation of the famous novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' (Cien Años de Soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez has finally arrived on Netflix! 

Another Spanish film that I found very interesting is 'The Red Virgin' (La Virgen Roja) depicting the life of the famous Spanish writer Hildegart Rodríguez. This film is on Amazon Prime. 

Both great films for practising our listening skills. 😀
