Hello, Great Question! Estar is used when describing something temporary, such as "I am sad". That feeling wont last forever, so use Estar, "Yo ESTOY triste". Estar is also used to describe someone's location for example "ESTABAS en la tienda" Ser is used to describe someones physical identity or personality, for example "Yo SOY baja". Ser is used for origin or nationality "Yo SOY de Mexico" Ser is also used for time and events "Tu cumpleanos es en Octubre" I hope this helps!

Hello, great question! The Exclamation and Question marks in Spanish are used at the beginning and end of sentences because they let the readers know beforehand whether the sentence is actually a question or being told as a statement. This then allows the reader to annunciate certain words so they sound like a more like a question rather than a statement while speaking. I hope this helps!

Depende mucho de los intereses de la persona y su metodo de aprendizaje, asi que, cada persona escoge a su tutor de diferente forma. Hay personas que le gusta mas practicar y hablar. En cambio, otras personas les gusta mas la teoria.
- Students and/or Tutors: what are some of your favorite podcasts in Spanish?
My all-time fave is Radio Ambulante but I don't always have time to listen to their episodes, which tend to be around 40 minutes long. On the shorter side, I like El Hilo, which is more news-based, and Así Como Suena, great for hearing voices and accents from all around América Latina.

My wife (Mexican - for her I know Spanish) likes to listen to one called "Relatos del Lado Oscuro" which deals with paranormal activity that happens from time to time all over Latin America but with a special focus on Mexico. A mi esposa (mexicana - por ella sé español) le gusta escuchar a un podcast conocido como "Relatos del Lado Oscuro" lo cual se trata de actividades paranormales que pasa de vez en cuando en toda Latinoamérica con un enfoque especial en México.

Hola Priu, creo que en un año y medio podrias lograrlo , es importante el tiempo dedicado, la forma en la que estudies el español y la inmersion que tengas en el idioma, dependiendo de esto lograras la fluidez. Mi consejo es que seas dedicada y constante :), y te sumerjas en el idioma a traves de contenidos creados en español. :)

the words "por" and "para" are prepositions which have different uses but their main difference is this: POR : expresses the motive, cause or reason behind an action. if you can substitute "because of" into your sentence, you need this preposition ej: fuí a la fiesta solo por tí (i went to the party for you) PARA: indicates the ultimate purpose of the action if you can substitute "in order to", "so" or "to" you need this preposition ej: fuí a la fiesta para ver a ver a Veronica (fuí a la fiesta a ver a veronica)
- Who knows the meaning of this phrase in Spanish:Dime de lo que presumes, y te diré de lo que careces
Best answer
Hi, that sentence is an idiom, you wouldn’t translate it literally as you read it. The meaning is “a show of person that use to be proud of the things he/she owns or does, really doesn’t have that and is lacking in that”
