Profile
I am Spanish from Madrid, Spain. I have a bachelor's degree in Law and I'm currently switching careers and mindset while training myself to become a full stack software developer. My hobbies include reading, listening to radio podcasts, discussing politics and history, practicing sports like weight-lifting and swimming, computers, videogames, watching movies and TV shows and playing with my nephew and niece. I am a talkative guy and very passionate about learning new things. The nature of those things isn't quite as important as the joy in the learning process. I love both Spanish and English and I can't conceive any other drive to learn a new language than loving its people, literature, culture, or anything else important that appeals to my soul.

    De acuerdo con las respuestas anteriores. Recuerda, Katarzyna, que el modo subjuntivo se utiliza para casos de hipótesis, posibilidad, duda, deseo... situaciones caracterizadas por el rasgo "irrealis". Sin embargo, todos los días escucho a hablantes nativos de español usar mal los modos verbales. Especialmente el subjuntivo. Si aprendes a dominar el subjuntivo llegarás a hablar el español mejor que muchos españoles.

    I wouldn't try to learn a language if I didn't love something about its culture, its literature, its people, its history, probably everything together. To me, learning a foreign language like English is a way of travelling without boarding any plane, strolling along ruins or tossing coins to fountains. A sort of mind travelling. Do not be afraid of learning a new language at your own pace. You're just doing a work which is esentially a good in itself. Just remember that mastering your native language is also very important to lay down the foundations for a new language to really stick into you.

    Mastering prepositions might be challenging. There are many prepositions with multiple and overlapping meanings (polysemy), differences in their use depending on the region where the English speaker lives and a certain randomness and error coming from the very natives sometimes. There are probably some poor preposition choices in my answer to you for that matter. I think the best advice I can offer you to master English is listen, listen, listen, and practice, practice, practice. I know prepositions in my native language Spanish can also be tricky, and I am aware that some of my countrymen many times use them incorrectly so... we all can do better, just don't give up.

    En español, un "cover" de un álbum o canción es una versión, una imitación. Imagino que un drum cover es una versión de la parte de una composición relativa a la batería, pero, naturalmente, soy casi in analfabeto musical. :D

    Soy radiófilo. Escucho muchos podcasts de radio diferentes en español y uno que puedo recomendar a personas de cualquier lugar del mundo es "La Contracrónica", del periodista español Fernando Díaz Villanueva. En su programa, Fernando aborda temas sobre actualidad, política, economía, historia y cultura desde un punto de vista inteligente y crítico. Además, deja espacio a sus oyentes para que envíen sus preguntas y opiniones. Fernando Díaz Villanueva es un madrileño culto y utiliza la lengua española de una manera muy correcta, así que creo que su podcast puede ser, además de interesante por su temática, muy valioso para estudiantes de español.

    A funny Spanish idiom: "Quedar como Cagancho en Almagro". (Equals to "quedar en ridículo". Translation: Perform like Cagancho in Almagro). Joaquín Rodríguez Ortega, alias Cagancho was a Spanish bullfighter of gipsy origin who alternatively performed very great and awfully poor shows during first half of 20th century. One of his worst, at the Almagro town's bullring in Ciudad Real province of Spain, was reportedly so poor and ridiculous that it infuriated an audience wanting to beat him, and ended with him escorted/arrested by the law enforcement Guardia Civil. The expression is not widely used in my country, and honestly I know close to nothing about bullfighting, but this historical episode is quite hilarious and the sound of the expression is also very funny in Spanish. This may be caused by the phonetic proximity of this matador's alias, Cagancho, to the word "cagón", a comical way to call someone a coward in Spanish metaphorically implying he does his stuff in his pants.

I don't know much about bullfighting, but the historical episode is hilarious enough and the sound of this expression is also very funny in Spanish. This may be due to the phonetic proximity of this man's alias, Cagancho, to the word "cagón", a funny way to call someone a coward in Spanish by the metaphor of doing it in his pants.
