Spanish

Advanced learners
My collection of 'Advanced Spanish'
If you have reached the
advanced level in your Spanish studies, you can be very proud of
yourself. It is not easy to get this far and at this level it is really
all about tricky grammatical rules, common mistakes (that even natives
make!) and the cultural aspects of the language that set it apart from
other languages.
Below you will find a small
collection of what I consider advanced Spanish. It contains some common
mistakes I have seen my students make. Again, I believe that at this
level you will be so good that you can learn most things by yourself.
For example by reading good Spanish books etc.
Using tenses correctly
"Si debiera escoger una lengua, escogería
español"
If I had to choose a language, I would choose Spanish.
"Cuando oyó estas cosas, Juana
se entusiasmó."
When she heard these things,
Juana got excited.
"¿En qué estaban pensando?"
What were they thinking of?
Mistakes that even native
Spanish speakers make
Correct way of saying it: Voy a enseñarles
a mis niños como cantar.
Incorrect way of saying it:
Voy a enseñarle a mis niños
como cantar.
Correct way of saying it: Había cuatro
coches.
Incorrect way of saying it:

Correct way of saying it:
No conozco al chico que vive
con mi hermana.
Incorrect way of saying it: No
conozco al chico viviendo con mi hermana.
