El vídeo está muy trabajado y es bastante claro, pero permíteme hacer un apunte. Cada vez más se está extendiendo el significado que tiene el inglés el verbo "discuss" como "discutir" en español, cuando debería traducirse (y usarse) por lo que en realidad significa, que es "debatir", "hablar".

@Lesfleursdumal919 En español "discutir" tiene dos significados diferentes: "intercambiar ideas" y "pelearse". ¿Es eso a lo que apuntas?

hello, thank you for ur helpful videos.

I have a question for the sentence "Elle va para la escuela" it means she does at the moment ok speaking ?

[esaudio]

@HHaircare Thanks for the comments. It could be now, or it could be something she always does.

Julio I like your style. My spanish teacher made me feel like I was going to law school way too many rules. Thanks for helping me pass my final exam.

@biggestplanefan No, no, in Spain we say PASTEL or TARTA (cake). We don´t say TORTA.

@HHaircare: "para" here indicates direction.  "ella va" means now, or it could be something she always does.
