Ser and Estar differences in passive voice? There are process (ser) and status (estar) passive forms. I do not quite catch the difference in meaning and translations: La casa es vendida La casa fue vendida el mes pasado La casa está vendida La casa estuvo vendida La casa estaba vendida if the last sentences make sence?

What is the correct verb conjugation in El voseo? Following the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voseo is my understanding correct that the only difference is replacement of 2nd singular with vos and 2nd plural with 3rd plural in Indicative, Imperative and Subjunctive moods? Can you provide correct full conjugation of all forms e.g. for hablar, comer, vivir and some reflexive and irregular verbs like: yo hablo nos hablamos vos hablás ustedes hablan el habla ustedes hablan

¡Quien lo hubiera visto! Los objetivos voladores no identificados (ONVIs). Quisiera ensayar el modo subjuntivo una vez mas. Es probable que alguien haya visto el objeto volador no identificado. Por poco probable que pareciera estos tres volaban muy rapidamente y cambiaban colores de rojo a amarillo. Temíamos que nos avistaran y captaran. Por eso hablabamos tranquilamente y casí susurabamos. Quiero que lo vean y comenten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6zEOqpiQZI

Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn Surrender to This Algorithm I've found that item in my g+ stream from some of my friend and eager to share it here http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/16-05/ff_wozniak?currentPage=all I've found it utterly instructive as I also have the same problems. Here are some quotes from the article to allure you to devote some time to it: ...SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget. ...Imagine a pile of thousands of flash cards. Somewhere in this pile are the ones you should be practicing right now. Which are they? ...Twenty years ago, Wozniak realized that computers could easily calculate the moment of forgetting if he could discover the right algorithm ...In the late 1800s, a German scientist named Hermann Ebbinghaus made up lists of nonsense syllables and measured how long it took to forget and then relearn them. (Here is an example of the type of list he used: bes dek fel gup huf jeik mek meun pon daus dor gim ke4k be4p bCn hes.) ...Among his original observations was an account of a strange phenomenon that would drive his successors half batty for the next century: the spacing effect. ...Ebbinghaus showed that it's possible to dramatically improve learning by correctly spacing practice sessions ...After all, there is a tremendous amount of material we might want to know. Time is short. ...To this day," Bjork says, "most people think about forgetting as decay, that memories are like footprints in the sand that gradually fade away. But that has been disproved by a lot of research. The memory appears to be gone because you can't recall it, but we can prove that it's still there. For instance, you can still recognize a 'forgotten' item in a group. ...Every time he learned the name of a student, Jordan is said to have complained, he forgot the name of a fish ...The most popular learning systems sold today — for instance, foreign language software like Rosetta Stone — cheerfully defy every one of the psychologists' warnings ...Landauer and Bjork were looking for the optimal moment to rehearse something so that it would later be remembered ...The best time to study something is at the moment you are about to forget it ...One of the sets he studied every five days, another every 18 days, and the third at expanding intervals, in

French accents and e muet question I've encountered the rule on writing accents: A vowel, if not at the end of a word, gets accent if situated in the end of a syllable Examples: épître é-pî-tre pénétrer pé-né-trer été é-té célèbre cé-lè-bre But also there are the same cases (end of a syllable) where accent is not set and 'e muet' is pronounced Examples: secret se-cret petit pe-tit fenêtre fe-nê-tre samedi sa-me-di leçon le-çon What is the rule that governs accent writing for e and e muet?

Dialecto de Colombia Hace poco hablé con una chica quien vive en Colombia, una de mis nuevas amigas. Me admiró mucho el acento que hablase. Usaba con frequencia el modo subjuntivo, el modo que me gusta, pero lo usaba sin contexto. Por ejemplo: 'Tengamos muchas ganas a ayudar uno a otro' o 'Supongamos que nos vemos mas tarde' Esto me encanté mucho :) Teníamos bien conversación y nos reíamos mucho. Por eso el estudio de la lengua es placer para mi. Nos vemos más pronto!
