    How to address other Spanish speakers, Formal or Informal?

    When we walked our first camino out of Sarria we met a farmer in his garden. I said buenas tardes and asked what vegetable was growing there. Before he told me the name of the plant he told me in no uncertain terms that buenas tardes was not to be used before 6PM!! I generally use tu, but once...

    Ranking my top 10 foods from the Camino

    Padron seeds are available in the US- can easily be grown in pots or planters. Since I am from an area with a shorter growing season I start mine early- my current crop has just gotten their first true leaves- and keep them in pots so they start to ripen earlier. I have yet to learn how to...

    Can you pass this Spanish naturalization quiz?

    Looks like my vote was one of those lost so I will vote again if possible as I impressed myself with 22 of 25. I also just took the Institute Cervantes Test -B1.3-B1.4. I have been studying a lot lately but WOW. Where does the citizenship line form?;)

    The Intriguing Story behind the Cross of Santiago in Velazquez's Artwork

    I had learned a lifetime ago that Velazquez was not eligible to be inducted to the Knights due to his family possibly being conversos and for this reason he painted the cross himself.

    A Spanish Conversational Thread

    Es una problema para me tambien. Duoling prefiere usar carro, boligrafo en vez de coche y pluma. Visito a espana por eso trato de hablar con palabras que usan en el pais. Espero que me entiendes!

    A Spanish Conversational Thread

    Perhaps a different thread then for any of us that just want to chat no matter how poorly. I guess when I posted the original request for a "conversation" I should have been more specific. I envisioned chats in Spanish more like the ones I have with my husband. I am re-learner having studied...

    There is more correction on this thread than conversation, sorry I asked!! I don't take it personally, I just wanted a conversation.

    A Spanish Conversational Thread

    A Spanish Conversational Thread

    Ivan, I appreciate that you want to be helpful, but when I suggested a thread to practice Spanish I envisioned a group of students getting together after class and talking together with their limited grammar and vocabulary, not a classroom setting with a teacher. I thought that those of us that...

    Mi tampoco, me gustaria hablar mejor, no quiero escribir mejor, por eso no uso los accentos. Y tambien, no se como los uso en mi ordenador.
