about

Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.


Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum




Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

whats the difference between using these words:
ese, esto, esa, esta, aquel, aquello b/c they all mean like "this" or "that"?

This (Someting you're really close to. For example, the computer you're on.): Este, Esta PLURALS: Estos, Estas
^ THIS ^ ^ THESE ^

Por ejemplo: Estas cosas son verdes. (These things are green.)

This and these both have Ts. That and those don't.

That (Something you're physically close to, but not really close enough to touch. If you were in a computer lab, the computer next to you.): Ese, Esa PLURALS: Esos, Esas
^THAT^ ^THOSE^

Por ejemplo: Estas cosas que están en mis manos son verdes, pero esos libros en tu escritorio son rojos. (These things in my hands are green, but those books on your desk are red.)

That one over there (Something across a room. You could use it to describe something on the opposite end of a street or school.): Aquel, Aquella PLURALS: Aquellos, Aquellas
^That one over there^ ^Those over there^

Por ejemplo: Aquel edificio, a través de la calle, es azul. (That building over there, across the street, is blue.)

Se cercioran de sus adjetivos y sustantivos convenir. (Make sure your adjectives and nouns agree.)

¡Buena suerte con tu español!
