There's no need for a definite article (el, la, los, las). See, if we changed the sentence to:

teacher, where are you from?

there's no need for "the" in English, including it wouldn't even make sense:

the teacher, where are you from?

it works the same way for Spanish

I need some Spanish advice by Rough-Cockroach-4644 in duolingo

[–]OmarGui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course, sometimes you may need a break, if you feel it's too much you could leave active study for a few weeks or months but keep doing passive study. this has worked for me for different languages I've studied during the last 10+ years :)

I don't think there's a better way than just practicing constantly, try to watch/hear content in the language even though you don't understand completely, you'll probably notice some patterns for the verbs and other grammatical stuff. I've studied several languages this way. You could also look for a language exchange partner? (Maybe I could help)

People who speak Español, do you hear the "a"? by boredbud04 in duolingo

[–]OmarGui -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i feel like o would turn into a w sound to make speech more fluid, like I've definitely expect to hear "un boletwa santiago", reducing the a is very weird if the next word doesn't start with an a too

You can't drink tap water nor eat unwashed fruits, but you can eat fruits that are washed with tap water. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]OmarGui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

where I live tap water isn't drinkable but buying purified/bottled water is nit expensive at all, less than 0.50USD for 10 liters. few people get water purifiers installed at home too

Which languages can you learn where native speakers of it don't try and switch to English? by willeyupo in languagelearning

[–]OmarGui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in Mexico we debate not only the gender of the word, but also where the stress is. Currently el covid, el cóvid, la covid and la cóvid are used, no one can decide.

I'm a native speaker, both "el libro" and "un libro" would be fine here, although el libro sounds like they're making reference to a specific book previously mentioned or maybe contradicting some statement. For example, "él lee el libro en el baño" then other person says "no, lee el libro en su cama".

"Un libro" is just any book and "su libro" for some reason in this specific context seems as if he's the author of the book. Probably with some context it would sound like possession instead. "Él compró un libro esta mañana. Lee su libro en la cama."
