I am learning Spanish to get better at communicating with my boyfriend’s family who are Colombian. I learnt Spanish in school but I can’t remember anything. I have tried to learn by myself but would like a teacher to guide my learning and someone to practice with. I want to learn Colombian Spanish to better understand the slang and sayings that are commonly used.

    I love watching football games both live and *on* TV. I'm a big Roma fan and I used to go to the stadium every Sunday. Recently, I've been working too much and I haven't the time to go there anymore. However, I'd love to *go* back and join my group of friends again to watch live football together and enjoy the stand*ium*'s atmospher*e*. Great work, just a note on using 'come' & 'go': We use COME to describe movement between the speaker and listener, and movement from another place to the place where the speaker or listener is. We usually use GO to talk about movement from where the speaker or listener is to another place.

    We don’t really say ‘this moment’ that often in English. For the context of a ‘newsflash’ or breaking news it is more common to say: ‘We have just received breaking news that ….(something has happened)’ We use present perfect with ‘just’ for very recent past. You can also use present continuous if the event is still happening at the moment of speaking: ‘We are receiving news of (something happening) ….’ Hope this helps! To replace ‘this moment’ we can use ‘just now’ or ‘at the moment’

    Hi, The first one is common and correct because we use present simple for schedules (for trains, buses etc) even though the action happens in the future. The second is not common, you would say the train is leaving in five minutes. This is using the present continuous for the future. We use present continuous for future arrangements that are 99% certain, usually related to transport. (for example - I am flying to Madrid tomorrow) Will is used for future predictions, decisions, promises, offers and sometimes certain future. but in your example we really wouldn't use it. Hope this helps :)

    Hi there - good question! He says ‘why’d ya do it?’ Or why did you do it? Hope this helps! It is a good example of connected speech. Hard to hear but it gets easier with practice :)

    A proposal is usually a plan or suggestion. It is more formal and can be a written plan given to others to consider. ‘He wrote the proposal and sent it to his boss to look at’ An offer is usually like a favour or a smaller action. An action to express your willingness to do something for someone. ‘He offered to drive me home after work.’ Hope this helps! :)

    An article is used to signify which object you are referring to. When it says #3 it is clear which picture the speaker is referring. When you don’t say #3 you must use an article to show which picture you are talking about. ‘I would like to describe a picture’ focuses on the fact that you want to DESCRIBE a picture (any picture) ‘I would like to describe the picture’ refers to a picture known to both you and the listener, for example the picture in front of you.

    Hello!

    Hey there! I think I'm gonna use the corona virus lockdown to practice some English.
    What are you gonna do during this time?
    All the love for all people around the world who are fighting against the virus.

    we use to+infinite to say the reason you do something

    for example: why do you go to the gym? To lose weight and to get fit.

    Hope this helps! Studying English sounds like a very good way to use your time! Keep going and enjoy some English YouTube too!
