Mucho vs. mucha

Question

Which is correct: Tengo que aprender mucho mas Espanol, o Tengo que aprender mucha mas Espanol?

The speaker is female (does that matter?)

Answer 1

The correct version is mucho más, and the gender of the subject does not matter.

And, as Jason pointed out, you don't write nationality adjectives with a capital letter - español is correct.

Answer 2

Is the masculine assumed in instances like this, when the noun is a language? What about for countries or other location names?

Answer 3

Issabela, does the person need to capitalize "spanish" in this sentence? I didn't think you needed to capitalize here.

No, but why are you asking me this? you could just tell mcleod to edit and correct :) - Issabela, Dec 29, 2009

Answer 4

I want to make sure of what you are trying to say before I weigh in on this sentence. Are you trying to say, "I have to learn a lot more spanish?". Let us know and for future posts, the more context the better. I hope you are learning a lot of spanish on this site. There are so many knowledgable people here!!

Yes, that is precisely what I want to say - I need/must learn a lot more Spanish (heading to Peru in the summer) - bnjmcleod, Dec 29, 2009
