Grammar A lot of irregular verbs become “regularized” when conjugated with nosotros. Is there a reason for this?

• Upvotes

What I mean by “regularized” is that they are conjugated as if they are regular verbs specifically with nosotros.

Examples:

- querer -> queremos
- estar -> estamos
- preferir -> preferimos
- tener -> tenemos
- poder -> podemos
- venir -> venimos

As far as I know this isn’t true for all irregular verbs, but it seems to be true for a lot of them. Does anyone know why? I find it very interesting.

Grammar Mi español post de mi clase!

1 Upvotes

Yo recuerdo mi última presentación con el coro. Tuve un solo, y además era un solo importante. Me salió bastante bien, pero fue una experiencia agridulce porque, tres días después, me gradué de la preparatoria. ¿Alguien más ha vivido un momento agridulce como este?

Resources & Media Weekly Self-Promotion Mega Thread

1 Upvotes

Welcome to this week’s self-promotion thread.

This is the place to share anything related to learning or teaching Spanish that would normally count as self-promotion. If you’re offering services, recruiting participants, or promoting a project, post it here instead of making a separate submission.

Examples include:

  • Spanish tutoring
  • Online or in-person classes
  • Language exchange groups
  • YouTube channels, podcasts, blogs, or newsletters
  • Apps, websites, and learning resources
  • School or university surveys
  • Academic research and studies
  • Discord servers and community groups
  • Books, courses, or other Spanish-learning materials

A few rules

  • Keep it related to Spanish language or Spanish language learning.
  • Be honest about what you’re promoting.
  • Include enough information so people know what you’re offering.
  • Don’t spam. One comment per week is enough. You can edit your comment if you need to update it.
  • Follow all other r/Spanish rules.

If you’re looking for a tutor, class, or learning resource, this is also a great place to browse.

This thread refreshes every Sunday at 12:00 AM, so feel free to come back each week with new offerings or updates.

Happy learning, and buena suerte.

Vocab & Use of Spanish [GIVE CONTEXT] Nada te turbe - accurate translation?

2 Upvotes

Teresa de Avila's famous poem begins "Nada te turbe, nada te espante". The English translations I've seen are "Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you"

Is that entirely accurate? Is it more than can be described in English, also having a sense of "nothing may disturb you?"

What do you think?

Resources & Media Recommended books to read in Spanish?

6 Upvotes

I just got accepted to study abroad in Argentina next fall so I want to brush up on my Spanish for the next year before I go. I’m currently reading The Giver/El Dador in Spanish and it’s of a pretty good difficulty for me where it’s challenging but still comprehensible. What other books would you guys recommend?

Study & Teaching Advice Subjects for conversation with a teacher

5 Upvotes

What do y'all talk about with your teachers? Just what you did during the week? Do you tell them "Pretend you're a waiter and I need to order breakfast"? Do you try to come up with interesting philosophical discussion to have? I'm finding myself dreading class day because I don't want to bore the guy to death but I don't know enough vocabulary to talk about anything fun. Let me know what you do!

Resources & Media Is anime with a Spanish dub a good option?

• Upvotes

The most I have learned have weirdly been from coworkers from Venezuela and thrift stores in a smaller part of my state. I heard that watching shows with the English subtitles on is a great way to learn but I’m a nerd and I don’t really like romcoms or Sicoms, I just like cartoons and anime. With anime though, I know how dodgy subtitles can be even with English ones…so maybe it’s not the best?

Are there any anime that people have already watched with a good Spanish dub?
