    Yes, you can. Actually you used an European Portuguese structure Estar a + verb in infitinitive It is the same in Brazilian Portuguese Estar + verb in gerund (fazendo, falando) There is no problem, but I recommend you to be consistent when using one of the variants. Regards

    Ser: is used when something has a permanent state during the time, or lifespan Example: Soy chileno (I am Chilean) Here we are talking about something that is like and "eternal" or long term feature on the subject. Therefore is used when you want to say something or someone has a long term feature (on the basis of the time such feature will remain), or such feature has always been present on such element, Estar: 1. Is used when you refer to a transitory feature, this means something is momentary and non eternal in terms of time, hence its use with the gerund in Spanish. (estar comiendo) Example: Estoy contento 2. Is used for physical location, like when you say "I am in the kitchen" Example: Estoy en la cocina RESTRICTIONS: Some adjectives, which have a time-related restrictions cannot be used with "ser", this is because such adjectives have the idea of "short time experience" attached to them, like "contento". You will master this with time. Apart from that, some regions in both Spain and Latin America, sometimes mix the used of these verbs, so do not worry if you hear something odd.

    Yo he amado: is a present perfect case, which is used for pinnin down a recent action like: "Recién he ido al cine", and an experience like "Ya he ido a Japón dos veces". The use of Perfective is restricted to the European variant mainly, and if we make a timeline tenses should be organized like this: Past Perfect --> Present Perfect--> Present---> Conditional--> Future This means this complex tense is used for actions which are closely connected with both present and past, but you refer to in present. (RECENT ACTIONS) Its main difference with English Present Perfect is that the Spanish one has a "time" emphasis, therefore, the listener will understand the action has happened on a very close past. On the other hand, for expressing experiences, it is only necessary to add some adverbs or phrase particles indicating such action as experience for the listener to understand. And finally, you gotta consider that some Spanish verbs have an irregular participle, like the verb "abrir" Yo abrí la puerta. Yo he abierto la puerta.

    Hi there, Japanese grammar is pure logic and uses something called "scramble", which means you can put everything in the order you like to. Nevertheless, the only restriction is that the main verb must be on the end of the sentence. I advice you to start learning the basics, once you have mastered that you will start constructing complex frases really fast.

    Hi there,

    Yes, we have differences in tenses, verb declension and aspect.
    If you want I can help you mastering these because Latin Spanish is harder that European one because of the aspect-tense mixture.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Try using Genki series books or Erin´s Challenge. The one I would never recommend is Minna no Nihongo because it has poor grammatical notes and bad translations. So with the ones I have already told you, think you will be ok.

    Cheers
