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?

when is a spanish infinitive verb translates as an infinitive in english? Why is the phrase Encantado de conocerle is translated as Pleased to meet u

¡Hola!

May I ask why is the phrase "Encantado de conocerle/te" is translated as Pleased/Nice "to meet" you in English and not Pleased/Nice "meeting" you, if the preposition "de" is followed by an infinitive verb in this phrase?

Thanks!

Inconsistency between recording and correct answer

In the recording the speaker says the word "fuera." But that answer was counted wrong and the correct answer was given as "fuese."

Using Ni que + subjuntivo

Put a coat on, Carlitos! Do YOU think it's August?

¡Ponte un abrigo, Carlitos! Ni que estuviéramos en agosto.

Why “estuviéramos” and not “estuvieras”?

un asunto que invita a la reflexión

Sin duda, un tema que debería haberse resuelto hace tiempo. Creo que para una pareja "casada" (realmente comprometida con una relación de por vida) después de la boda, el empleador de quien trabaje fuera de casa debería dividir el salario por dos y establecer dos cuentas de seguridad social y de jubilación. Así, independientemente de lo que ocurra más adelante, tanto el marido como la mujer estarán protegidos. La pareja debería compartir los gastos del hogar y decidir conjuntamente las compras importantes, disponiendo cada uno de un "dinero de bolsillo" mensual justo. Una cuenta de ahorro conjunta sería una buena idea.

using pronouns with llamarseIn the grammar section of llamas it says about pronouns: it is actually more common to drop them, so "Ella se llama Clara" = "Se llama Clara".

I forgot to drop it the first time, so I got a "nearly correct". The second time I dropped it, and it was still "nearly correct". - This I don't understand...
