07-15-2010 01:58 PM Queridos Alumnos = Dear Students, Here are
some lessons that I gleaned from answering your questions. fui a
una orientación (fem.) Las lecciones - feminine plural español e
inglés (e takes the place of y before a vowel or vowel sound)
You would also say 'Fernando e Isabel' but 'Isabel y Fernando'.
Get it guys? Las lecciones duran dos horas = The lessons last
two hours Now ... on to your 'preguntas' 1. You are correct in
stating that the best translation for 'excited' is
emocionado(a). 'Exitado(a)' does have a sexual connotation.
Sensitive in Spanish is 'sensible'. 'por' means 'for' or
'because of' something or someone Por tí = Because of you 'Por
tí estoy aquí' Because of you, I'm here. This can be either
positive or negative, depending upon the context. Para - For or
in order to. "Para aprender bien hay que estudiar'. In order to
learn well, it's necessary to study. There have been books
written on the differences between the two, but this gives you
the gist of it I hope. 07-15-2010 05:29
