Yo soy bajo

Is it my imagination, or is the speaker saying "yo soy debajo" instead of "yo soy bajo"?

Calor - both masculine and feminine

The following was a post made 11 months ago. It seems the problem is not completely fixed Inma as the same thing has just happened to me.

Uh no. So in one lesson you guys said calor was feminine. Even though in three years of Spanish I've always only seen it as masculine. But in fact it can be either according to the RAE. Now in this lesson I marked it as feminine and you guys say I'm wrong. So you guys need to fix this answer or at least be consistent.

Llevar seems more flexible?

It seems that the llevar construction from B1 Spanish is more flexible?

For example if I want to say "He had been working with his dad for a few months", then I could write:

Él llevó trabajando con su papá por unos meses.

Por unos meses él llevó trabajando con su papá.

Él llevó trabajando por unos meses con su papá.

Far more forgiving grammatically than the hacía constructions.

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”?

The "United States" in Spanish7Ellos ________ en Estados Unidos el verano pasado.They were in the USA last summer.(HINT: Conjugate "estar" in El Pretérito Indefinido)
I think "the U.S." should be translated as "los EE. UU.", not "EE. UU". I think in Britain, people often call the United States "United States", but in Spanish it would be better to say "los Estados Unidos".

Por culpa de

When you say that we use "por culpa de" for something with a negative result and use the example as given above " por culpa de mi novio soy la mujer más feliz del mundo........" Why do you say that this sentence has a negative result?
