    When I began learning about phonemes in Spanish, my awareness of how I pronounce my native English was heightened. I've found that language exchanges, or intercambios, are a fantastic way to see two languages from two perspectives at once. English learners have such fantastic questions, and that helps me understand that I am experiencing similar challenges as I learn other languages. Making learning social has been absolutely key to my growth!

    Hi Keats, sorry for not seeing this post before! it' is true that Apretar can have several meanings, it doesn't have anything to do with local or cultural differences but just on different meanings that the same verb can have, depending on context. If you're referring to "apretar una tecla", it translates as "to press a key". It can also translate as "to push" if you're referring to a switch or a button "apretar un botón", but you can also use it as to squeeze, as in squeezing something inside your hand... Like in English, it's one of these words that can translate different ideas depending on context. Hope this clarifies your doubt. Enjoy the rest of the program!

    In English, the difference comes down to verb tense and what you want to express:

    “Aquí le envío las respuestas” means “Here I am sending you the answers.” It’s in the present tense, so it’s the right choice when you’re attaching or including the answers right now in the message.

    “Aquí le envié las respuestas” means “Here I sent you the answers.” It’s in the past tense, so it’s used when you already sent the answers before and you’re just pointing it out.

    If you’re sending the answers in the same email/message, you should use “Aquí le envío las respuestas.” If you’re referring to an action already completed earlier, then “Aquí le envié las respuestas.” is correct.

    Yes, absolutely! You can definitely use flashcards as a refresher. They’re a great way to review Sonia’s workouts after the dialogues and keep the key points fresh in your mind.

    I would also say that you can reach a strong A2 level if going through the 5 levels of Fluenz in depth. You'd need to do some extra work, especially to expand your vocab and to practice your oral expression a little more to reach a B1 level, but it's not that far away if you've already gone up until the end of leveol 5! Good luck and have fun hablando español!
