I learned Spanish in high school and college DECADES ago, speak it proficiently and have always been confused by 'por' and 'para.' This is the clearest explanation I have seen so far. Gracias!!

the fact you mix spanish and english so much, partially even in the same sentence, makes me think in spanish so often that I don't even notice.
I'm from germany and learned english, now I think in english more than I think in german, and don't translate anymore. I hope I can achieve the same thing in spanish. ¡Muchas gracias!

your english translations are not good for learning spanish; i check alot of you trans and it cause more confusion' be easier if you used more accurate trans so I can learn new words and their meaning instead of some complex idea that can be expressed with more accurate words;;sorry love ur teachings
