No bebo alcohol. Asi que me gusta beber té verde, café, zumo de naranja, cositas asi. Socialmente es dificil no beber nunca alcohol con gente que bebe, porque a cada cerveza que toman mis amigos, intentan hacerme cambiar de aviso, es aburrido.

Hola Liliana, no hay sonido en las preguntas 5 y 6 del tercero ejercicio pero se entiendo la pregunta solo a leerla, menos mal.

By:

Hola everybody;)

I don't know why by in my different dictionaries there are:

cerveza rubia,

cerveza nerga,

instead of claro/obscuro.

Does it mean that "rubia/negra" are used in Spanish, but not in Mexican?

And I can't find "obscura" in any dictionary, but there is "oscura". Someone knows why?

Can I translate refresco as soft drink?

Best regards!

Ida

No we also use cerveza rubia y negra. It´s the same. It´s just another way of saying it.

Yes refresco it´s a soft drink.

Both correct!

do the spanish from spain understand latin american spanish?

By:

They do indeed, just as the english from england can still understand "their" colonial cousins in the USA and Australia. There are regional differences which you learn by talking to the locals where you are, but the language you will be using is a universal spanish.

By:

except if you are talking about food!

Hola!

Tengo una pregunta.If I want to say "what can I serve Juan?" can I say "Que sirvo a Juan?" or should I say "Que le sirvo a Juan?" and always use "le"?

Gracias!

By:

Hi Melodia

Yes in this case you always use LE because you are saying Que LE (A EL) sirvo a Juan.

Her you want to specify that you are serving HIM (A EL) LE.

Did I make myself clear?

By:

Yes! Thank you very much Liliana! :)

Cool lesson. What does JP mean above when he says:

"wácala"

By:

WACALA means yuck. When you dislike something or you don't feel good about something.

Me gusta la cerveza irlandesa

Thanks Lili. That was my guess from context, but I couldn't find any online dictionaries that would confirm it. Google images gave me the slight impression that my guess was right, but it wasnt too helpful. I guess it must be slang, right? If it is slang, do you know if there are any online equivalents of urbandictionary for Spanish?

Obsuro/a is not a word in Spanish. The correct word is oscuro/a. I suspect that this is an example of "hypercorrection" on the part of SpanishPod, but at any rate, not correct. I have mostly heard cerveza clara o cerveza negra or as you state, cerveza ruba o cerveza negra.
