My students usually want to be able to describe events by using positive words. Besides 'bueno' which everyone knows, there are plenty of words that we can use to describe things in a positive way. I provide you with a few ones here:

genial - excelente - conocido - estupendo - magnífico - interesante - agradable - fantástico - espectacular - sensacional - impresionante

For examples, context and pronunciation, feel free to check these videos below:

2. Eso creo

3. Me temo que...

You may have noticed at this point of your Spanish studies that 'hacer' has different meanings, right? When I teach beginners students, something I have usually noticed is that they are unsure how to use 'hace' when meaning 'for' or 'ago'. This is quite important as the scenarios are different: present tense and past tense. 

Though we could speak on and on about this topic, I just want to provide you with a few examples on this video which I think they can come in handy when studying 'hace'

Feel free to practise here and write your own examples, I'll be happy to review them :)

On a previous topic, we were talking about how to compliment the food in Spanish (here: https://www.italki.com/discussion/153458)

Now, let's talk about the opposite, what to say when the food doesn't actually taste good.

I speak about it on this video: https://youtu.be/dlikO9t3CvI  

There are so many things that we could say, so feel free to contribute and write a new sentence.

So, what would you say when food doesn't taste good in Spanish?

Something common that I have noticed when having beginners students is that they usually don't know the difference between después de, después, antes de and antes. We use these adverbs in everyday situation, that's why it is quite important to know the rules about using these words with infinitive or conjugated verbs and nouns.

I provide you with a video that I recently created about this topic and encourage all the students to write a couple of sentences here with these adverbs :)

Well, here in Spain there are several ways to express that you're enjoying your food. If you're studying Spanish, then you should be familiar with some of these:

- Está bueno / Está muy bueno / Está super bueno

- Está rico / Esta riquísimo

- Está delicioso

- Está sabroso

- Está apetitoso

Sometimes there are other words that we can use when enjoying our food as 'jugoso' (usually when eating meat) or the coloquial expression 'saber a gloria' which you can likely hear here in Spain :) You know how it is when it comes to colloquial Spanish, you are likely to run into different expressions regarding food depending on the country. Feel free to add more expressions you know when complimenting food if you are from another Spanish speaking country :D
