The exact translation for “please in” Spanish is “por favor”.
However, I know that, as language learners, we always want to learn more of the language we want to acquire.

Today I’m happy to feature a guest post by Pedro, one of the writers at the LingoPie blog, which is a language learning platform dedicated to making language learning immersive through TV and movies.
It’s no secret that movies are one of those resources that sometimes shine as Spanish learning resources.

How do you say yesterday in Spanish?… Straight and simple: “Ayer”.
However, I know that if you engage in a conversation with a Spanish native speaker, then you’ll probably face more than just “ayer”.

Yes, but don’t panic, even native speakers struggle to understand others because some people may use some “odd” words.
What’s your favorite app to learn languages?… Mine is LingQ without a doubt.
And since there’s a new version (5.0) available now, I thought it was a great opportunity to review it.
In this blog post, we’ll go through some of the reasons why I think you should be using LingQ to learn languages, as well as present you the things I don’t like about the app.

AJ Habló de un respetado lingüista e investigador llamado Stephen Krashen y explicó brevemente de qué se trataba “El Comprehensible input”.
Algunos años después, cuando empecé a escribir este blog, me di cuenta de que muchos de los políglotas más populares de Internet, también hablaban acerca de este tema.
How do you say calm down in Spanish?… Cálmate.
That’s the exact translation from English to Spanish if that’s all you were looking for.
However, if you’ve been studying Spanish for a while now then you probably know that native speakers use way more than English equivalents to express ideas.
If you are thinking about traveling or maybe if you have Spanish-speaking friends, you must know those other ways to say “cálmante”.
After all, everyone has periods in which we lose our cool and we need someone else to tell us to chill out.

Ya llevas un buen tiempo aprendiendo español.
De hecho, tienes un “streak” casi perfecto en Duolingo y sigues ganando cada test de gramática en tu clase de español.
Vas muy bien, pero hay un problema…
Cada vez que escuchas a dos nativos hablar en español no entiendes absolutamente nada.
Peor aun, cuando tú tratas de hablar español con un nativo, siempre utilizas frases como:
