These courses contain the words of the Duolingo “Spanish from English” course for the tree of 2016.
Also included are “BONUS” lessons which contain numerous additional vocabulary.
Duolingo teaches Latin American Spanish but Castilian words are added as additional words.
when asked for the word purple in the multiple choice question, you get two correct answers, purpura and purpura(p). funnily enough, purpura(p) is the one that’s always correct
[just to be clear, this is about the first course]
Both el ajo and la mantequilla should be fixed now.
But for púrpura I can find no problems. Maybe you remembered wrong and you had the choice between purple and purple(p)? The first one is the already existing answer for morado.
Otherwise it could be a Memrise glitch. The one where previously deleted entries still appear as answers in the multiple choice questions.
Hello, I was just about to start learning colours when I realised that “orange” is the given definition for naranja. Wouldn’t this mean I’d not be able to distinguish between la naranja as in the fruit orange, and naranja as in the colour when being asked?
Would something such as orange (colour) and orange (fruit) be possible?
Hey, great course!
Just one thing: Level 10, BONUS Clothing, has some food items in it? Is that how it should be? Do I have to start wearing lettuce? D:
Oops. Something must have gone wrong when I made alterations because Duolingo had added new words to the course. These items should have just been moved from BONUS Foods to Foods but seem to have been copied in BONUS Clothing.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for creating this course and giving the words audio. In Level 5 - Food - there are 2 audios for the English word “fruit”. Unfortunately, the first is “las frutas” plural while the second correctly says “la fruta”. Could this audio be removed?
I did not create this course myself but I am still sometimes working on and adding to it.
I have just removed “las frutas” (and added some new audio in other levels).
Hm. I disagree with that site’s analysis on the first ‘adverb’ meaning - it’s still an interjection there, just followed by a sentence. But I didn’t know the second one, so I would list both or all three (with the noun) parts of speech.
I must say I have not systematically checked the values for the field ‘part of speech’ for all words in these courses. Sofar I’ve just corrected them now and then when I came across values that seemed really off.
It could be really tricky to get this complelely right because the usage of grammatical terms can differ between languages. English for instance is strange with determiners.
And Spanish uses some words for a lot of different functions.
