This morning's tarea was to sing another song. I practiced the one line in the verse that was much faster than I've been able to sing before and managed to get my tongue to make the sounds. Yay me!
The song, La Bikina, was introduced to me in another Duolingo event. The instructor has been a huge Luis Miguel fan since she was a kid. She also told us the story of his life is a new series on Netflix. She didn't realize his early life as a performer was so sad, but suggested we watch the series for practice anyway. She also gave me a new appreciation for the mariachi bands.

The Coco version of the song by Karol Sevilla is also great.
This morning I re-listened to Language Track Lessor 43. He re-visits the verb 'haber' and explains the future tense is not habería, but habría. It loses the 'e' like poder to podría. So 'I would have gone' is 'habría ido'.
What I also found interesting was that 'should' is 'would owe' or debería. So 'I should speak' is 'debería hablar'
I always thought of Deber as should or ought. An interesting one I learned was there is no spanish for may - they say can instead...I wonder if they have a different verb when asking for permission?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish language seems to make due with fewer words in general. That is interesting though. Maybe they use 'permit' instead of 'may'?
