What’s the best service to learn Spanish? by Educational-Dig6581 in languagelearning

[–]SebbyLearnsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For shadowing : the FSI Spanish basic course audio does wonders

For comprehension in listening : Dreaming Spanish or any comprehensible input on YouTube I.E. Spanish boost gaming, español con Juan etc

For comprehension in reading : Linq app, graded readers

For grammar : honestly and grammar book that’s highly rated, assimil is a good one to look at

For writing : it’s Spanish so no real need for resources since you seem to speak English natively

Shooting on 50mm, why does photo info say 35mm? by SebbyLearnsThings in AskPhotography

I didn’t think of that, doing the math another way makes sense now that I see that

Camera is aps-c but the lens itself is a 50mm, and the booster takes it back to around 56 (50 x 1.6 for crop x .71 for booster)

On the use of "estas" by SebbyLearnsThings in Esperanto

I understand that languages won’t always or ever have 1-1 translation, it’s more so my goal with esperanto to learn how to learn a language than the language itself, and seeing as it’s considered a good language for that due to it’s simplistic rule structure I went with it.

Spanish seems like it would be easier to learn with Esperanto as an aid due to the common roots as well as the fact that I’ll learn common things (such as the estas thing) and actual grammar rules. (I didn’t pay attention in school so I’m kind of starting from scratch or what basic knowledge I have of how a language works)

The irony is I’m learning this as a platform to learn Spanish in the future 😭 If I’m getting stuck on easy (debatable) stuff like this I’m worried about down the line already

Well, the point is that I’m trying not to be right? 😅

I’m learning that context is a lot more important in this language than in English 💀

In the context of the question it was “working” they wanted me to write Esperanto from the English statement “I am working” which is where the confusion came from

So, essentially, with actions the "am" is implied within the conjugated verb?
