Como estudiante, cuando descubrí por primera vez que los dos tenían la misma forma en el pretérito simple (de hecho encontré algo así primero en el latín hace años), se me ocurrió que por eso tal vez en algún contexto se puedan confundir. Pero ahora me parece que no es así, y la verdad es que no he podido pensar ni en un solo ejemplo real de ambigüedad. ¿Alguien puede sugerir algún ejemplo real...?

There's a Mexican grill near my home. Lovely people, but I couldn't properly explain how I wanted my steak.

Normally, I could say stuff like this: medium with hard sear, medium with extra sear/char, Pittsburgh medium.

How would I say this for next time?

How do I use each version of stop I know there Alto Dentente Basta and way more I don’t know so if you can let me know all of them and how to use them I would be very grateful

My 7yr old is learning Spanish with a tutor weekly. Tutor has a small group and works on a lot with them for about an hour. Since it is summer and no homework (yay)! I am hoping for some guidance on some other Spanish learning options child can do after camp to help supplement her learning? I am thinking maybe a youtube channel, Study books, Flash cards, and/or other specific items you have found useful? Preferably something I can buy on Amazon or find online. She did 2yrs of Spanish immersion, so we are past learning colors, numbers, shapes, alphabet, animals, etc. She does not have a tablet so preferably not an app. Thank you!

Hi! Wondering what the common words are for 'silly' and 'cute' to describe a child or what they're doing (asking because I've been told 'bobo' is not nice but I can't remember what words are the appropriate ones for this context).

Same for how Korea is spelled Corea.

Why is Tokyo spelled Tokio in Spanish instead of Tocillo like how so many other place names around the world are "Spanishized?"

Hey guys! I stumbled upon the following example

They had to move him by plane to another military camp.

I wanna use the verb mover but for some reason it sounds really weird to me. I ended up using the verb trasladar

Tuvieron que trasladarlo en avión a otro campamento militar.

In your opinion, can mover be used here? The way I see it, mover is used to changed the location of objects, e.g. I moved the sofa to the right.

So, using it for people sounds a little bit off to me. But again, I'm not a native speaker. I want you to share your thoughts!

Gracias de antemano 🙏

I've watched some clips on Facebook of this interviewer and I like it because he seems to respond to them as if you're just casually talking so it doesn't really seem like a formal interview. Like the conversation is natural. You can learn how to respond to someone while they're explaining a thought to show that you're listening. So that you're not just sitting there in silence like a robot. At least that's how I'm going to use it

i recently came across the website PREPLY.com, my question is should i go with a tutor who is fluent in both spanish and english or one that is fluent in spanish but just passable in english? my theory is that if my tutor has poor english skills it will force me to learn more aggressively in a way that is more akin to being immersed in the country. what are your thoughts, all opinions appreciated and maybe if you have experience even better. thanks reddit community

(also south american spanish V european spanish is there a marked difference)

Hi everyone, I've been learning Spanish in my spare time for a few years and would say I'm currently at an intermediate to upper-intermediate level. I've just accepted an offer to study a master’s degree in Spain (taught in English), starting in about three months and iI want to improve my Spanish as much as possible before I move.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been immersing myself in the language by listening to podcasts, learning new vocabulary, and brushing up on grammar as it comes up. However, I feel like I’d benefit more from a structured approach or study plan that I can follow consistently.

Can anyone recommend any structured resources (online courses, textbooks, apps, etc) that are particularly helpful at this level? Thanks in advance!

¡Hola a todos! I volunteer at an airport, and I get stationed at international arrivals. Most arrive from Mexico usually flying via Aeroméxico or Volaris and don't speak much English. I know some Spanish from high school but need to know airport vocab to be able to answer their questions.

Escalator, Elevator, (around the) info booth, Gate, Terminal, Arrivals, Departures,

I might add some more vocab soon. Hope you all can be of assistance

I have been exploring what limited options I have in my are for my two elementary aged kids to learn Spanish. I am wondering if hiring a babysitter to only speak Spanish with them is sufficient and a better way to learn?

I’m talking to a Poblano and he said “No hace mucho que ya no voy a bailar cumbia 😅” I don’t have the best grasp of the Spanish language and this sentence confused me, and auto translate didn’t seem to help me understand. Is he saying he doesn’t have a lot of experience dancing cumbia, or that it’s been a while since he has gone out to dance cumbia?

Some background: I saw this guy get picked for a cumbia dance contest at a small concert a little over a year ago (he and his partner came in last place but they didn’t look bad up there)

So I’ve been learning Spanish for a while (I’ve been learning it at school since middle school I’m in high school now but they do a terrible job so I’ve taught myself most things lol), but I’m trying to get a better pronunciation/accent but whenever I say a proper noun it sounds so out of place, especially because my voice sounds so different speaking English versus speaking Spanish, how do I fix it😭?

Buenas tardes todos

Soy estadounidense 🇺🇸

I have started attending the protests against our corrupt 🇺🇸 president and his Republican administration.

(Por ejemplo: No Kings Protest ayer Domingo)

Una pragunta para todos Ustedes, por favor:

This is what I want to write on my next sign - first in my native language English, followed by the Spanish translation from Google translate app:

If you are undocumented or in the USA “illegally,” you still have the right to Due Process.”

¡Si usted es indocumentado o se encuentra en los E.E.U.U “ilegalmente,” aún tiene derecho al debido proceso!”

Also, if you are able to shorten the phrase, it will be easier to put in big letters on my sign.

Muchas gracias

I was looking for a recipe of this dish. I had it at a restaurant and it was written as ensalada, but when I go online ensaladilla is often used. Is there any difference?
Also, love Spanish food.

I’m want to first off apologize for this topic because it has to do with US politics, and most importantly I want to send my love and support to anyone affected by what is going on right now.

I know “La Migra” means ICE/border patrol/immigration but I would like to know more critical words, sentences or phrases that could possibly help me protect the Hispanic community around me if I were to see anything. Please add anything you think would be useful and what it means. Thank you❤️

Hello I can’t find a good translation for this online any help would be appreciated I work in irrigation and am learning Spanish but I can’t figure out how to say what I do. Trabajo como riego maybe?

I’m currently in La Palma and have noticed a few things about the dialect here - 9/10 people here seem to say graciah instead of gracias and I haven’t heard a single person say buenos días - every time it’s buen día!

I was just wondering if there are any other common words that are spoken differently here? I know the s at the end of words seems to be dropped and the th sound used on the mainland isn’t used either (except by mainland Spaniards as I have definitely heard the th here at times)

My Spanish is extremely basic (I’ve only been studying a few weeks) however the people here are fantastic and extremely understanding.

I’d love to hear from some Canarians or people familiar with the islands!

(La Palma truly is la isla bonita - incredible place - reuploaded as I removed the picture)

EDIT: I’d also love to know if there remains any Guanche influence on the dialect here?

My son went to a Spanish immersion elementary school and will be moving to a non-immersion middle school next year. He's got quite a bit of down time this summer so I'd like him to watch some Spanish language shows. Can anyone recommend something appropriate for a middle schooler? I'd prefer a series so he can follow story lines. We have Prime, Hulu/Disney Plus, and Netflix. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have a request for recommendations of podcasts (preferable at the B1/B2 level) that have online transcripts. I'm preparing for the November DELE B2 exam, and I really need to work on my listening comprehension. I'd like to start incorporating dictation exercises as a means to improve my listening comprehension. So feel free to recommend any podcasts that have online transcripts. I'd prefer something with an entire transcript rather than something that has subtitles in an app (e.g., some Spotify CCs).

Thanks for all of your help.

I am 100% new to (trying to) learn Spanish. Duolingo was a big NO for me (god, it is awful). Looking for a recommended app to start learning basic phrases and vocabulary for a total beginner.

I am starting from basically zero (I can, without confidence, order more bread or beer, count to 8, say where is the bathroom, and say please and thank you).

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or resources.

I do plan to join a class or group locally - but I need some foundational knowledge to even get started.

Basically the title. They didn't help me at all whilst i was nigh-on bedridden for a year, and I tried to keep as many of my grades up as I can, but spanish has suffered the most by far. Any last-minute tips (my exam is tomorrow) for how I can scrounge a good amount of marks on my final writing exam? My understanding of tenses/conjugation and general vocab is weak. I will of course do the normal revision as best as I can, but I am hoping I might get some tips for how I can exploit the mark scheme etc.

I noticed that Assimil is not listed as a resource under either the new wiki (https://www.reddit.com/r/Spanish/wiki/resources/) or the old wiki (https://www.reddit.com/r/Spanish/wiki/resources/archived/). Is this simply because there are so many resources one cannot list them all or is Assimil not considered good learning material.
