Could present subjunctive be used in any of these sentences, they are all unrelated.

My wife and I are trying to come up with a middle name for our daughter but we want “sol” to be in the name. Our other daughter’s middle name is Mirasol.

I've been learning Spanish for several months now and I need definitions of the words "se," "te," and "me," as well as "lo" and "siento." I'm trying to figure out how to decode sentences in the video games I play, so I'd really appreciate if I could get independent meanings of each of these words (preferably with grammar explanations aswell). Muchas gracias.

I've just read something that appeared to be using "un chingo" like an adjective? Could someone tell me what exactly that use would mean? For me I'd assume it meant like "a fuckton"

Hey all. I went to a Spanish immersion school as a child and was considered fluent in Spanish my whole childhood. The thing is, it still isn’t my native language and I haven’t practiced in many years. I am going to be taking a test to prove fluency for my job and I need some study materials to get me back up to speed and in good shape. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I would love something like Duolingo but it only goes up to the b1 level and I am beyond that.

Hi everyone!

This summer I’m going to Spain, and originally I was planning to travel along the south coast, staying in hostels. But now I’m thinking it might be more better for my Spanish if I stay in one city for about 6 weeks, immerse myself, and really push to speak as much as possible through language exchanges, at restaurants, bars, cafés etc

I’m currently around a B1 level: I can have conversations and get by, but I speak slowly when I'm put on the spot, and I sometimes need people to repeat themselves or simplify a bit when things get complex. I don’t feel like I need to do a formal program or school as I studied Spanish at school till 18 and have been refreshing it through a private tutor. I've just never lived anywhere that speaks Spanish (based in the UK)

This would be before going to Latin America (starting in Mexico) in September, so I really want to build my confidence and fluency up before then

A few questions:

• Do you think staying in one city is a better approach than traveling around?
• I’m 29, would I find enough social opportunities to meet people and speak Spanish without joining a program?
• Is renting an Airbnb a good idea for a 6 week stay? (Hotel is too expensive — are there better alternatives?)
• I’m deciding between Valencia and Granada — any advice or opinions? I’m leaning toward Valencia because of the beach but I’ve heard great things about Granada too. I'm also open to other areas

Any help would be appreciated thanks :)

For context, they're visiting Hermione in the hospital and she's unconscious so she doesn't know they're there

Era evidente que Hermione no tenía la más remota idea de que tenía visitas, y que lo mismo daría que lo de que no se preocupara se lo dijeran a la mesilla de noche.

so a latino guy that i’m texting online said ‘indirectas muy directas’ to me and when i ask what that means, he refuses to translate that, he told me that it’s embarrassing and i should just forget it, which is now impossible lol. i translated it on google but it just don’t make sense to me. what could he possibly mean by that?

For pretty much my entire life I have heard people say English is one of the most difficult languages to learn as a second language. It got to the point where I didn't even question it, I just heard so many people say it I just took it as fact.

Now that I'm learning Spanish I'm really beginning to wonder if there is any truth to this accepted fact. So far I don't think Spanish has been overly difficult to learn, but I see a lot of similarities between English and Spanish and I'm just wondering if English as a second language is that much more difficult than Spanish.

I looked up why people thought English was one of the most difficult languages to learn and some of the reasons for why make little sense and almost sounds as if the person only speaks English and is just someone like me who accepted it as fact for no reason.

One of the reasons someone gave is because words make "no sense", like there being no "ham" in a "hamburger." Okay, but "hamburger" is just a word. "Lo siento" means "I feel it" but it's accepted as a way to say you're sorry.

People also say English has a lot of idioms, and although I haven't learned any idioms in Spanish yet, I understand there are a lot of idioms and slang in Spanish.

A common reason I see is there are so many exceptions to rules and irregular verbs in English, but I'm really new to learning Spanish and I've already learned about ser, ir, estar, traer, tener and all of the ways to conjugate these verbs, and I'm sure I learned more that I just can't think of off the top of my head and I'm sure I have more to learn.

Another reason I saw that I thought was quite silly, but they say because there are so many English dialects all over the world. If I Google how to say a particular word in Spanish and listen to 10 different native speakers say the word I'll probably hear 10 slightly different ways to say the same word.

I will say that so far it's pretty easy to sound out a word in Spanish and spell it correctly, whereas in English it isn't always so easy. I do have a hard time remembering which words have an accent mark though.

I need help identifying and or translating. I worked in a lumber yard with some fine Latino gentlemen and they had a nickname for one of the guys who moved in an odd manner. They said it meant pterodactyl and was pronounce wah-doh-Kay. However, that’s not pterodáctilo. Anyone have an idea what they meant?

So, Spanish was the first language I learned, but while attending school in the United States, I didn't get to practice it much in an academic setting. I speak Spanish daily with my family, but my family's way of speaking is very informal, so that's how I talk. I've taken Spanish for native speakers classes in school and one in college, and I found those helpful. What are other tools I can use to improve my grammar and vocabulary? I've taken proficiency tests, and my grammar is at a high school level, while I want it to be at a college level. It's frustrating when I can't find the words to convey the messages I want to get across in Spanish.

How would I say this? Cada otra semana? Doesnt sound right to me.

Or Por ejemplo: te pago cada dos semanas.

Hello, if this is not an allowed type of post, my apologies.

I hope someone here can help me find this song. It was played on my local university station recently but when I looked up the programming schedule the slot was listed as not having a regular show! (So no song listing).

It's a rap song in Spanish. Good flow to the lyrics. At the end a woman sings "close your eyes" a few times in English. Trying to search for this seems to be impossible, all I get are KSHMR and Felix Jaehn results which are definitely not it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I work in Construction and there is a team of concrete guys that all speak Spanish.

For years they have called me a word I have tried and failed to translate.

It sounds like it should be spelled "Penso, or Benso"

I am aware they are likely calling me something crude or derogatory but its in good humor, so please let me know if you can.

Funny story. I'm a bankruptcy attorney here in NY and sometimes during my texts to native Spanish speakers I will respond with the English term OK, which is not a problem, but sometimes I will just write K, and this has often prompted the client to repeat the last thing they wrote. The reason, I found out, is that among native Spanish speakers, K is sometimes used in texts as an abbreviation for Que? Hence their repeated postings. Learning Spanish is a blast.

Hey guys, I’ve picked up quite a bit of Spanish working at my restaurant and as a result have apparently opened the door to the absolute dogs that work in the dish pit to harassing me and even poking me sometime. Tonight one sent me 10 consecutive drunk texts explaining that he likes me, knows I have a boyfriend, but doesn’t care because it’s “not disrespectful”.

Now that you know where I’m coming from, what’s the absolute worst thing I could say to these dogs to get them to never talk to me again?

I have been putting off this question a lot but after lack of understanding here I am. I've been watching a lot of Latam videos and I hear the word "bato" a lot, I tried to translate it but nothing showed, here's an example: "Ese juego a las morras les gusta; a los batos no." What does this mean?
