Remember Me
Lesson Introduction

Ah, the age question. It's not so cute anymore, now that you can't answer by holding up fingers. In this lesson, we'll learn how to immediately follow the age question with a compliment, just to take the sting out of it. Find out how to give your age... or lie about your age... in Spanish.

es muy triste que cuando un mujer tiene más años es viejo pero cuando un hombre tiene más años es mas interesante. Yo pienso que estar más interesante ahora si cuando más joven.

Totalmente de acuerdo, un hombre cuarentón con canas es sexy, pero una mujer cuarentona... es vieja. Pues ¡no! No estoy de acuerdo, las mujeres cuarentonas también pueden ser sexys, y los hombres cuarentones también pueden ser viejos. Todo depende del ojo con el que se mire, y de la edad mental de uno.

yo tengo doce anos, Hola, I am new to this website but im not new to learning espanol. =) Im learning spanish because I want to get really good grades when im in high school, and because I wanna be a speech patholigist when I grow up ( and spanish would be a very good tool). I think I know alot of spanish for my age, and it is fun to learn how to speak it too. =] I also have a pentop computer that translates for me when I get stuck. Are there any people my age on this website?

Tengo 59 (Cincuenta y nueve) años. Por favor, por los paginas de web "Dialogue" y "Expansion" You have those nice little popups that open when you hover over a word with the pointer. If they spelled out the number in spanish when you hovered over a number, they would be more helpful. for example instead of 30 30 thirty number 30 treinta thirty number por una otra vez, Abreviaturas a la mismo pasillo km/h kilometros par hora kilometers per hour frase Gracias el veijo

When I was talking on Skype with my good friend Daniela in Argentina, she used the words "luces mas joven" instead of "pareces mas joven".

Do they mean the same?

Special Spanish Characters (ñ, á, ó, etc.)

You might wonder how to type this Spanish special letters or accents. Here is a link to a web page where they explain this very well: http://faculty.weber.edu/tmathews/grammar/Compmark.html

Hi,

I just wonder what is the different between "muchas" and "mucho"

thanks

October 17, 2010 from the Web.
lilianamata says

"Muchas chicas" it´s a feminine adjective.

"Mucho talento" it´s also an adjective in this case a masculine.

"Mucho" on it´s own it´s an adverb, like TE QUIERO MUCHO. I like you a lot.
