SER vs ESTAR no fuss

Por y para no fuss

Course

Learn how to use ‘para’ to express destination and purpose, ‘por’ to indicate cause, means and price, how to talk about duration (‘for two days’) without getting confused, how to correct yourself in seconds using a simple mind map, and how to use ‘por’ and ‘para’ naturally when travelling, shopping and in everyday conversation.

Forms of the past

Course

In this video, you’ll find a clear and quick guide to conjugating the most commonly used verbs when telling stories in Spanish. You’ll see the difference between the simple past, the imperfect and the pluperfect, with ready-to-use examples. The idea is that you don’t have to ‘guess’ whilst speaking: you’ll recognise patterns, memorise the essentials and practise with short phrases so that your stories sound natural and fluent.
