Como ves, mamá sabía que si ellos comían de ese fruto, pensarían que ya no la necesitaban.

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. 😀

Por qué se usa "las" en "[la juventud] es un lienzo en blanco esperando ser pintado con las que son consideradas experiencias inolvidables y valiosas lecciones de vida"?

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

Is "suficiente" known more for "enough of" just like adequate and is bastante more known for "plenty" like enough, but more than just enough? I saw a native say suficiente go on about how they use suficiente=enough and bastante=plenty. I believe you can use suficiente before and after the noun, although with bastante is it only before the noun?

In a sentence like:

"I believe that Juan does NOT have the book.", which is correct?:

Creo que Juan no tiene el libro.   o

Creo que Juan no tenga el libro.
