[Course Forum] Spanish 1 to 7 by Memrise

“if you had …” is translated “si hubieses …”. “Si hubiera” is not accepted, but could be correct as in the sentence “Señor, sería bueno si hubiera comido más comida.”

Hi!

There are seems to be two issues in English (US) version.

  1. Spanish (Spain) 3 - Level 27 Fuel your vocab: Bargaining
    https://www.memrise.com/course/1179785/spanish-spain-3/27/
    el real - the
    Given that level is about bargaining and already has translations for several currencies (e.g. pound, dolar and euro) I assume correct translation should be the following:
    el real - the Brazilian real (the currency of Brazil).

  2. Spanish (Spain) 6 - Level 4
    https://www.memrise.com/course/1179788/spanish-spain-6/4/
    la perfección - the master; the teacher
    Are you sure this is a correct translation? Shouldn’t it be:
    la perfección - the perfection

I’ve been able to happily repeat almost all words and phrases so far but can’t get through, “el médico;la médica”

It asks me to try again every single time, no matter how I try to adapt the way I say it. I managed “el profesor;la profesora” - another one with both sexes and the semicolon so it shouldn’t be my pace or how long I pause between them. Has anyone else struggled on that one?

I’m using the Memrise iPhone app.

Could someone help me out here? I’m on second level and encountered this phrase:
¿Qué desean comer? - what would you like to It?(formal)
Why it’s not ¿Qué desea comer usted? In polish translation the original Answer shows there IS only one person asked. May it be incorrect translation? I mean that It should translate to plural?

I think “que desean comer” means what would you (two or more people) like to eat ? This is the informal plural version.

“Que desea comer usted” is the formal way of asking one person what that person would like to eat

I’ve just done a classic review on the new beta version, and it really wasn’t happy with “tan … como” and I don’t know why. I was just given building blocks to select which were basically “tan” “como” “…” “?” “¿” and maybe other unrelated words. So I wasn’t even typing the answer, just clicking the blocks, and it went orange as if I was wrong every single time (it kept giving me the same question to try again and I didn’t get it right until I got it as a listening exercise and chould just choose the one that SAID “tan … como”. I really don’t know what it wanted, and couldn’t have added any spaces or anything, the words were spelt in the blocks for me so I wasn’t spelling them wrong. I tried “tan … como” “tan como” “tan … como …”. Oh wait, maybe they wanted “… tan como” I don’t know, all I know is that “tan … como” is one of my dificult words now :frowning:

I had the same problem!
