Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hola,

I have a particular interest in art, so I enjoyed doing this exercise. Yet, I have to agree with David that this lesson was possibly more challenging than the AI level. 

I needed to listen to the measurements several times because I was unfamiliar with the use of "veinte coma dos" for example. (Although, I should have guessed, since this is similar to the French use of a comma instead of a decimal point.) After the first measurement, I was able to understand the second one. A good learning experience for me. I am coming back to Spanish, and have a lot to review and much more to learn for the first time.

May I suggest that there is a link to a lesson about numbers with decimals? 

Gracias y Saludos

little confused where is my test for my level in spanish???

Can you tell me why this is wrong?  "Les seguiré contando más cosas sobre esta tradición a condición de que vengan el año que viene." This is from https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/tests/overview/573782

Muchas Gracias - Michelle

¿Ambas son correctas?

1. Solo escuche como toco.

2. Solo escuche cómo toco.

 Gracias de antemano

This lesson says «present tense is used to talk about the past event», which is fine, in English too it happens.

However, there is another lesson in C1, «simple future or conditional tenses are also used» to talk about the past event.

Can someone please explain when to use the present tense, and when to use simple future/conditional to talk about the past event? Or, in the same situation, present tense and future/conditional tense is inter-changeable??

In a lesson, the question asked about the Canary Islands. Since the islands will always be in the ocean, I answered "son' instead of "estan" and it was wrong.

Many apologies. I just reviewed this exercise and saw that there are indeed hints at the beginning and somehow I missed them.  Mea culpa! 

I find the hints very helpful in these exercises, and my experience is that the equivalent listening dictations in the French course provide many more hints. The only hint given here is, "Tierra del Feugo". The words with which I was unfamiliar in this exercise were: recorrer; atraversar; bosques; and inolvidable. I was able to sound them out and look them up in the Collins Spanish/English dictionary. I was also unsure of the correct spelling for equipo and ciclismo. I knew the word, "entrenar" only because it is so close to the French, "s'entrainer", and again was able to sound it out.

This is a bit humbling for me to admit to my lack of knowledge of these vocabulary words, but it would be a big help to have them provided as hints to look up as we go through the exercise. Then, at least, we would know the spelling and would be able to look them up in the dictionary.

Saludos!

Why was "por lo tanto" marked wrong in this test? It is perfectly correct, isn't it?

Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
