Here we go, I've finished all the tracks one time through. But my reviews are only at Track #69 of Language Transfer and the introduction of the subjunctive or mood tense. Mihalis says we have this tense in English, but it's not used nearly as much as it is used in Spanish. To find the conjugation, we look to the present tense endings of the -AR verbs, switch them with the endings of -ER and -IR verbs and vice versa.
This video actually demonstrates what the tense is used for and the switching of the verb endings quite clearly. Tengo que decir, no me recuerdo aprender el tiempo subjuntivo en escuela, pero lo parece es muy util en español!
Also, I attended a Duolingo event today, the language exchange with Marcela and Sergio. I had a great time and got a lot of practice speaking. In the first round I was in a group with 2 guys from Mexico and the fourth person was from Brazil. I talked a lot about my recent trip to Mexico. I learned the word for border is 'frontera'. The second round I was in a group with Marcela and Sergio's mom Sandra. She is so fun and great to speak with. We talked about the two meanings of extraño. And she asked us about the word milk being both a noun and a verb. LOL
Sounds good!
