Pondering subjunctiveIt appears to me that by deciding to use subjuctive in the second clause of the sentence, creates the doubt. Therefore, however I set up the statement does not really matter. Generally, I will have created doubt. I am guess that generally the doubt it pushed onto the first clause, meaning:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.
Me alego (I am pleased, as long as it was pleasing, but maybe it was not so pleasing for you afterall)... or is it that I am pleased, but you may not have really travelled the world. Which is the sentiment? Am I on the right track? I am guessing the first.
What is the sentiment if I were to say "Estoy feliz que hayas viajado a diferentes países".
Hi! my first post, so first things first: kwiziq is great!
About the sentence "Ella piensa muy despacio." Isn't that supposed to be "despaciamente", as it is an adverb that describes the way she thinks?
Thank you!
I notice from the examples that hacerse seems to be used (with few exceptions) when the change is under your control or voluntary. This is logical because you are "making yourself" change.
And quedarse means "keep", suggesting that you're stuck with the change permanently!
This seems to help me. I hope it helps other students.
Is it correct to say, 'Desde cuándo haces tal cosa?'. For example, 'Desde cuándo tocas el piano?', to elicit the answer, 'desde mi infancia'.
Thanks in advance.

When I hear the phrase "la falda es bonita", it sounds like "la fine-da ...". I would expect to hear something like "foul-da". Do you agree? I have to admit it has taken me years and a pair of good hearing aids to make progress with hearing Spanish pronunciation. Thank you for your excellent Spanish learning application!
· I know her: Le conozco / La conozco
There is a lot of discussion on the internet about whether “him” and “her” are direct objects of conocer that should use lo and la.
Hello! Could you differentiate when you might use these two phrases? For example, if the sentence is - I am about to take a shower:
-Estoy a punto de ducharme
-Estoy para ducharme
Are these sentences saying the same thing or is there some nuance that I'm missing out on?
It seems that one can use both sobre and hacia to express that "at around/around" a certain time something is happening. e.g. "I meet you at around seven".
Can they be used interchangeably in this context or is there a difference between when one would use sobre and when hacia?
Why is it “mucha” not “mucho”? Is it because it modifies Coca Cola?
In the examples of "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."
Why use 'a' instead of 'para' (for) or 'por' (on behalf of)?
