Descalcifica
Descalcifica tus miedos, entierra tu orgullo y duerme tu ira.
Vence el imperio de todo el rencor que gobierna tus días y reír no te deja.
Dale brillo a tus sueños, escala tus éxitos Despierta a la alegría.

Spanish TV show on Netflix
So, in case you didn’t know, the first Spanish production on Netflix has just come out. It’s called Las chicas del cable (Cable Girls). It’s a period drama set in Spain in 1929, so if you want to practice your Spanish it’s perfect for you! It tells the story of four girls who move to Madrid to work for a phone company.
5th April - 15th April 2017
I have been so busy the past fortnight, trying to get close to finishing my college project, which is due this coming Monday, that I have hardly had any time to draw in my sketchbook. Anything I did draw was just random scribbles from various points during the day. Still nowhere near finished the project tho. There is literally no end in sight
The first pages at the top depict a few quick sketches, plus me recording my experience of my first diy ‘stick and poke’ tattoo. It turned out not too badly. I kinda like the spontaneous nature of it, despite it being slightly uneven.
The second pic is just a quick experiment from during printmaking at college. It thought the gradient effect made using the roller was cool. The third pic is just a double page spread made over the course of a few days, made up of random patterns and doodles, featuring Bro
¡Buenos días!/¡Buenas noshes! (No sé cómo está el tiempo en México) Yo tengo problema con la diferencia entre el Pretérito Indefinido, el Pretérito Imperfecto y el Pretérito Perfecto. ¿Puede explicar me? ¡Muchas gracias para la atención!✨
¡Hola, lovely-lo!
Sure, let’s see one by one and the differences:
Used for:
- finished actions (focus on the action)
- period of time, exact time
- consecutive actions in the past
- interrupting actions
Examples:
- Anoche dormí muy bien. (Last night I slept really good).**This action is completely finished.
- Terminé mi tarea a las 7:00. (I finished my homework at 7:00)**Completely finished + exact time.
- Viví en la ciudad por 10 años. (I lived in the city for 10 years)**Finished action + period of time.
- Mi amiga estudió en España. (My friend studied in Spain)**She finished studying.
- Él trabajó en esa empresa desde 1990 hasta el 2015. (He worked in that company from 1990 until 2015.**Finished action + exact period of time
- Ayer me bañé, me vestí y salí con mis amigos. (Yesterday I took a shower, I got dressed and I went out with my friends).**Consecutive actions in the past.
- La semana pasada fui a la playa con mi familia, nadamos, comimos mariscos y nos divertimos mucho. (Last week I went to the beach with my family, we swam, we ate seafood and we had fun). **Consecutive actions in the past. (For “nosotros”, the present and the past conjugations are the same).
- Ayer me desperté a las 8:00, pero me levanté hasta las 9:00. (Yesterday I woke up at 8:00, but I got up until 9:00).**Consecutive actions in the past + exact time.
✴ interrupting actions with pretérito imperfecto. ⇊
Used for:
- past habits, skills
- finished actions (focus on time)
- describing people, animals or places in the past
- time with past habits
- unfinished actions
Examples:
- Cuando era niña me gustaba pintar. (When I was a kid I liked to paint).**Describing the person + past habit.
- Antes podía correr muy rápido, pero ahora ya no. (I used to run very fast, but not anymore).**Past skill.
- Mi abuela era una mujer muy guapa. (My grandmother was a very beautiful woman).**Describing a person.
- El parque estaba muy limpio, hacía buen tiempo y habían muchos animales pequeños que comían frutas de los árboles. (The park was very clean, the weather was good and there were many small animals that were eating fruits from the trees).**Describing a place, weather, animals.
We can also use [imperfecto] + [period of time] if we are talking about past habits.
- Iba a la escuela de lunes a viernes. (I used to go to school from Monday to Friday)**Past habit + period of time
- Antes practicaba 3 horas al día. (I used to practice 3 hours a day)**Past habit + exact time
- Visitaba a mis abuelos todos los veranos. (I used to visit my grandparents every Summer).**Past habit + time/season
NO:
- Vivía en la ciudad por 10 años. (X)
- Él trabajaba en esa empresa desde 1990 hasta el 2015. (X)
Unfinished actions: [pretérito imperfecto] + [pretérito indefinido]
We use the pretérito imperfecto to talk about the unfinished action.We use the pretérito indefinido to talk about the action that interrupted the first one.
- Estaba caminando por la calle cuando comenzó a llover. (I was walking down the street when it started to rain)estaba: imperfectocomenzó: indefinido
- Estaba viendo una película pero me quedé dormido. (I was watching a movie but I fell asleep)estaba: imperfectome quedé: indefinido **quedarse dormido: to fall asleep
- Antes trabajaba en esa tienda pero encontré un trabajo mejor. (I used to work in that store but I found a better job).trabajaba: imperfectoencontré: indefinido
- Antes sabía muchas palabras en español pero ya olvidé muchas. (I used to know many words in Spanish but I forgot many of them).sabía: imperfectoolvidé: indefinido
[pretérito indefinido] + [pretérito imperfecto]
Past action + describing in the past
- Fui a tu casa pero no estabas. (I went to your house but you were not there)
- Fui al banco pero estaba cerrado. (I went to the bank but it was closed).
- Compré esta bolsa cuando estaba en oferta. (I bought this bag when it was on sale).
- Llegué temprano pero no había nadie. (I arrived early but there was nobody there).
pretérito indefinido = (focus on the action)pretérito imperfecto = (focus on time)
- ¿Qué hiciste? - What did you do? (focus on the action)
- ¿Qué hacías? - What did you do? (focus on time)
Another way to translate these questions:
- ¿Qué hiciste? - What have you done?
- ¿Qué hacías? - What were you doing?*The first question focus on what you did, and the second one focus on how you spent your time.
- Vi una película. - I watched a movie. (focus on the action)
- Veía una película. - I watched a movie (focus on time)*The second sentence can be translate as “I was watching a movie”
estuve vs. estaba (estar)
Estuve and estaba can be interchangeable many times, for example:
Él estuvo trabajando. - He was working (focus on the action)Él estaba trabajando. - He was working (focus on time)These two sentences have almost the same meaning. “Estuve trabajando” emphasizes what he was doing, and “estaba trabajando” emphasizes how he was spending his time.
Estuve muy ocupada. - I was very busy. (focus on the adjective “ocupada”)Estaba muy ocupada. - I was very busy (focus on time)These two sentences are also very similar. But “estuve muy ocupada” emphasizes the fact of being busy and “estaba muy ocupada” emphasizes the time when she was busy.
Most of the times people don’t see these subtle differences, so both sentences can be synonyms.
Just as one of our previous rules, we don’t use the imperfecto with exact time.
fue vs. era (ser)
This follows the same logic:
fue, pretérito indefinido = (focus on the person)era, pretérito imperfecto = (focus on time)
Whenever we read a biography of someone, we always see “fue” because the important thing is their profession. For example:
- Octavio Paz fue un escritor. - Octavio Paz was a writer.
- Marie Curie fue una científica. - Marie Curie was a scientist.
- Galileo Galilei fue un astrónomo. - Galileo Galilei was an astronomer.
If we use “era” the sentence is correct, but it feels like it is minimizing the importance of their job.
But we can use “era” when the important thing is how people spent their time. For example:
- Cuando Octavio Paz era niño vivía en los Estados Unidos. - When Octavio Paz was a child he lived in the United States.
- Marie Curie trabajaba con su esposo. - Marie Curie worked with her husband.
- Galileo Galilei tenía muchos enemigos. - Galileo Galilei had many enemies.
Used for:
- Recent past (finished actions) connected to the present.
- Experiences.
Examples:
- He comprado un carro nuevo. - I’ve bought a new car. (I bought a car recently and is still there).
- He estudiado todas mis notas. - I’ve studied all my notes. (I studied all my notes that I have until now).
- Él ha tenido tiempo suficiente para pensar. - He has had enough time to think. (until now)
- Mi amiga me ha dado un regalo. - My friend has given me a present. (and I still have it here).
- Hemos tenido un buen fin de semana. - We have had a nice weekend. (until now, until the last second).
- He viajado a Perú muchas veces. - I’ve traveled to Perú many times.
- He estado en Bolivia sólo una vez. - I’ve been to Bolivia just once.
- Ella ha nadado con delfines. - She has swum with dolphins.
- Él nunca ha bebido alcohol en su vida. - He has never drunk alcohol in his life.
- ¿Has visto esta película? - Have you seen this movie?
- ¿Has tocado a un elefante? - Have you touched an elephant?
- ¿Alguna vez has pensado en casarte? - Have you ever thought about getting married?
[pretérito perfecto] + [time]
- He estado trabajando todo el día. - I’ve been working all day.
- He estado estudiando 2 horas al día. - I’ve been studying 2 hours a day.
- He estado leyendo libros en español desde hace tres meses. - I’ve been reading books in Spanish since 3 months ago.
I think that’s all. I tried to cover everything I could, but if you still have questions feel free to ask me again. :) I hope this was useful!

But once you have a base in the language, they help you improve so much. I highly recommend buying any Berlitz or Barron language books. I love the 50 Ways To Improve Your books. They are the best grammar/vocab/correction language books ever. I use the Spanish one to help teach myself Spanish, and I absolutely love it. And it isn’t very expensive either!
And once more, the lovely lady behind the blog les-langues-sont-ma-vie makes a huge, insanely helpful post! Everyone should go follow her if they don’t already, because she’s fantastic.
The Dirty Language books (the only one on this list is Dirty Korean) are incredibly helpful with colloquial language, the downright filthy stuff that you only learn growing up in a place that speaks the language or living there long enough to pick it up. They have a great pronunciation guide in the preface and have really good explanations, and they come in a bunch of different language variations (the ones I know are Dirty Chinese, Dirty French, Dirty German, Dirty Italian, Dirty Russian, and, Dirty Korean). They can be purchased at Urban Outfitters as well as from various online retailers and in some bookstores.
NOT TO MENTION ASSIMIL. Also, if you live in Montreal: Visit a bookstore called Michel Fortin. It’s on Saint-Denis, between Sherbrooke Station and Mont-Royal. It’s like Heaven, but real.

Question Words:
The word order of these kind of questions is as follows: question word + conjugated verb + subject + (the rest)
Here’s a list of question words. (I didn’t translate worüber, woran and worum because translating them literally doesn’t work. It’s better to remember which verb takes which preposition. But the most confusing thing about these words is that they are actually a mixture of “was” and a preposition.)
wer - who ✰ Wer hat das gesagt? – Who said that? ✰ Wer ist das? – Who is that? wessen - whose (genitive of wer) ✰ Wessen Auto ist das? – Whose car is this? ✰ Wessen Haus ist das? – Whose house is this? wem - to whom, who (dative of wer) ✰ Mit wem hast du gesprochen? – Who did you talk to? ✰ Wem gehört das Haus? – Who owns this house?/Who owns this house? wen - who, whom (accusative of wer) ✰ Wen kennst du besser? – Who do you know better?
wie - how ✰ Wie alt bist du? – How old are you? ✰ Wie viel kostet dieses Buch? – How much is this book? ✰ Wie spricht man dieses Wort aus? – How do you pronounce this word? was - what ✰ Was machst du? – What are you doing? ✰ Was ist das? – What is this? wann - when ✰ Wann hast du Geburtstag? – When is your birthday? ✰ Wann stehst du morgens auf? – When do you get up in the morning? warum - why ✰ Warum hast du das gesagt? – why did you say that? other words that mean “why”: wieso, weshalb, weswegen wo - where ✰ Wo wohnst du? – Where do you live? ✰ Wo ist der nächste Supermarkt? – Where is the closest supermarket? woher - where (from) ✰ Woher kommst du? – Where are you from? ✰ Woher soll ich das wissen? – How should I know? wohin - where to ✰ Wohin gehst du? – Where are you going? wofür - for what ✰ Wofür ist das gut? – What’s it for? ❗️❗️ worüber ✰ Worüber sprichst du? – What are you talking about? ❗️❗️ woran ✰ Woran denkst du? – What are you thinking about? ✰ Woran liegt das? – What’s the reason for it? ❗️❗️ worum ✰ Worum geht es? – What is it about?
Was für
“Was für …” means “what kind of …” question word + object + verb + subject AND question word + verb + subject + object are possible:
Was für Musik hörst du? Was hörst du für Musik? (What kind of music do you listen to?)
Was für Schuhe sind das? Was sind das für Schuhe? (What kind of shoes are those?)
“Musik” is an uncountable noun and “Schuhe” is plural, but for countable and singular nouns you have to use “Was für ein….?”:
Was für einen Film möchtest du sehen? OR Was möchtest du für einen Film sehen? (What kind of movie do you want to watch?)
Was für eine Farbe hat das Auto? Was hat das Auto für eine Farbe? (What colour is the car?)
Which
Welcher/welche/welches are inflected by number, case and gender.
Zum Beispiel: (Sg.Nom.F) Welche Pflanze wächst schneller? - Which plant grows faster? (Sg.Nom.M) Welcher Stift gehört dir? - Which pencil is yours?
yes-no questions
A question that can be answered by yes or no must start with a conjugated verb which is then followed by the subject. The rest of the sentence doesn’t change:
conjugated verb + subject Tanzt du? (Are you dancing?, Statement: Du tanzt)
conjugated verb + subject + participle Hast du gewartet? (Did you wait?, Statement: Du hast gewartet)
conjugated verb + subject + object Kennt sie mich? (Does she know me?, Statement: Sie kennt mich)
conjugated verb + subject + infinitive Möchtest du gehen? (Do you want to leave?, Statement: Du möchtest gehen)
conjugated verb + subject + object + infinitive Willst du mit mir tanzen? (Do you want to dance with me?, Statement: Du willst mit mir tanzen)
Tag questions
A tag question is something like “, right?” or “, isn’t it?”. There are many different tag questions in German but the most important ones are: …, nicht wahr? is used in writing and formal speech. …, oder? is the one you’ll hear the most but it’s informal. …, stimmt’s? is informal as well
The rest of them are dialectal which means that it’s more difficult to use them: …ne?, … gell?, … wa?, …ge?, …ha? (I don’t even know all of them)
If you have any more questions feel free to ask me! :)

Anonymous asked:
I'm looking for some good French TV shows / movies on Netflix and was wondering if you had any suggestions! (I'm in America FYI, cause I know Netflix options can change a bit depending on country)
Hey, I’m Australian so I don’t know what you will have.
Umm… let me think, well you can change the audio to french for a lot of american shows, but personally I find dubbing a bit annoying.
Do you have ‘les revenants’ (the original tv show in French)? There’s an american version but the french one is fantastic (at least the first season)
You can search for a language through netflix, you just click on browse and there is an option for audio and subtitles, click on that and choose French!
