I'm really struggling with the distinction. In English, I often don't think that I make much of a distinction between "what" and "how" I feel.For example, "What do you feel for that guy?" and "How do you feel about that guy?" are asking exactly the same thing. How would these two phrases translate (be worded) diffierently in Spanish?

Serio becomes seriecillo?

Hi, 

Which sentence softens the meaning of the word "serious"?

HINT: serio = serious

Why does serio become seriecillo when it doesn't end with an e or a constant? 

Is it common in Spanish to have two words seriecilla / seriecillo that are almost similar yet so different in meaning? 

Thank you!

Accent mark

Is it possible to bold the accent marks or make them in red?  I can't really tell if it is a dot over a letter or an accent mark.

Nunca with auxiliary verb tenses

There doesn’t seem to be an example or text relating to placement in a tense with auxiliary ‘ha’ etc. I gather from the quiz question that you cannot interpose  nunca as in ‘no he nunca visto eso’. As this is the natural order in English (I have never seen that) it would be good to have some explicit mention in the text and examples.

Que to express disbeliefI think it would be helpful to point out explicitly that the subjunctive mood is NOT used with this construction, as well as giving the examples.

'Puede que' vs 'a lo mejor'

I initially wrote 'A lo mejor desconoces su existencia' instead of 'puede que desconozcas su existencia' and it was marked incorrectly, could you please kindly explain why?

Can you also please explain why 'tal vez desconozcas' and 'quizás desconozcas' are incorrect, if this is the case?

ya que

Hi, I know someone asked this question earlier, but still this "ya que" bugs me.

There must be some kind of difference in choosing between "ya que" and "porque".  

Can you help me understand when to use which?  

Thank you!

Nicole

reflexive verbs versus passive "se"Is there an example of a use of tardarse that is not in the third person? If not, is it a reflexive verb really?

Acordarse vs recordar

Considering acordarse vs recordar, is one more common than the other in LatAm Spanish for talking about remembering? Also, is there a lesson that talks about when to use and not use “de” with acordarse? Gracias!

"Lo" instead of "El"?

"En el mundo hay muchos paises interesantes pero para mí, el más interesante es Australia."

My question is, why is could one also say "lo más interesante..." and still be correct? That is, use "lo" instead of "el"?
