Another insightful video into the pecularities of the spanish language on the students journey to fluency. As a native English speaker, I notice that "La Maestra" has a little trouble with the "r" in "preterite", so I don't feel so bad about my spanish "r's". Aquí están mis respuestas a sus preguntas:
1. Ellá esta contenta. (estar - feelings)
2. Cuándo era niño, iba al parque. (imperfect)
3. No tengo nigún gato. ( dbl neg)
4. Luis viaja para conocer el mundo. (goal seeking)
5. Todos los martes voy a dentista. (days use articles)
6. ¡Que tengas buena suerta! ( subjunctive)
7. La tienda está en la esquina. ( estar – location)
8. Juan es un profesor. (no articule req.)
9. Me gusta correr, dormir y comer. (Inf. Verbs = singular)
10. La comida es tan rica. ( so = adverb=tan)

Yes these are all the mistakes I commonly make

This was a great lesson of a lot of basic grammar-well done! Having studied Spanish for several years, I totally agree with you about learning the Subjunctive early! Thanks!

I'm waiting for all the past tense stuff.... that's the only thing holding me back from getting really good at conversational Spanish.... I know the simple past but still having problems knowing everything in the Imperfect.... and not only that, i'm not sure exactly what all past tense stuff i need to have no problems at all. For future i just use va a, voy a, vas a, etc.... and i know how to say "i was going to)... iba a, ibas a, iban a, help me out Maestra, I'm waiting on that new video you have coming because I'm about to turn up the learning and put in 6 hours a day because i am close but getting really impatient. Also i still notice that understanding Mexican Spanish is way harder than other LA Spanish but it is getting much, much easier lately.... I clicked LIKE before the video even started, you are always great !!!!
