He is amazingly improving his Spanish skills, he made a very good use of the verb tenses and a great practice of the differences between the verbs ser/estar. Today he felt more comfortable and spoke much less in English. I am sure he will soon speak only in Spanish and will not ask me to speak slower ;-p. Well done, Doug!

Very entertaining and productive class with Doug today. He was feeling 'más seguro' y 'menos frustrado' today and thus, he spoke much more in Spanish with a great construction of sentences and use of verb tenses! Keep it up. Enhorabuena y hasta pronto!

Super interesting class with Doug today! We spoke about Brexit and food habits in Spain. His vocabulary is increasing amazingly and he is able to recognise the verb tenses and conjugations. Our goal is to be able to use them correctly and to slowly improve his listening skills! Buy buena clase, Doug.

Doug is a gentleman, a very friendly and polite person. He seemed very worried about his Spanish skills at the beginning of our class but I felt he got much more relaxed and started speaking very well in Spanish throughout our lesson. I am really looking forward to meeting him again online! Well done, Doug! :-)

    Hi Ana To find a language partner, click on Community above, and select Language Partners. Then under "He/she speaks" select English. Tick "Native Speaker". Then under "He/she's Learning" select SPanish. Then click on Browse. That should bring up loads of learning partners, being the two most popular languages :) Hope that helps

    We never say "My friends of 6" BlackSmith - it makes no sense. Always My 6 friends (or My happy friends, My beautiful friends, My ugly friends! etc) Also, when writing I would suggest "My six friends" rather than using the number 6 :)

    How long is a piece of string? :) Impossible question to answer Erel. Depends on your circumstances and your motivation. Think how long it took you to speak English fluently as a child (and then you soaked up knowledge like a sponge!). I'm learning Spanish, and I've given myself 3 or 4 years, by which time I hope that I will be understood by natives and I will understand them. I don't expect to be fluent. I would suggest that you can't be fluent without spending some considerable time in the company of natives. :)

    The wooden hill :) Is "the stairs" (as in "I climb the stairs") las escaleras or la escalera? In my grammar book it suggests la escalera, but I would have thought that was "the stair" Thanks :)

    Subjunctive Hi As using the subjunctive mood in English doesn't change the "structure" of the verb (as it does in Spanish), I find the subjunctive in Spanish quite difficult (and odd!). I think I am correct in saying that the indicative is used when speaking about facts and certainty, and the subjunctive is used when talking about emotions, wishes etc i.e. not facts. That being the case, if I say: Voy a España it indicates a fact But if I say: Vaya a España does that indicate uncertainty, even though it still translates to "I am going to Spain"? Thanks :)
