Hi! You have a wrong here "esto págino", the correct way is "ésta página" :) - ale_rd, Mar 14, 2011
and you have to say "español", without "el". - ale_rd, Mar 14, 2011
According to the reference section, a definite article is used with languages except when used with hablar. How come this rule does not apply here, ale_rd? Thank you. - iloveamystery, Mar 15, 2011
I believe the actual rule is that the definite article is used with languages when they are the subject of a verb, but not when they are the object. - lorenzo9, Mar 15, 2011
This rule is not really specific to languages either. - lorenzo9, Mar 15, 2011
It's as lorenzo9 says. But is not just for languages. For example "Aprender guitarra, aprender danza, aprender origami". After a verb, the article isn't used. - ale_rd, Mar 15, 2011
If It's the subject, then the article is used. For ex. "la danza es muy difícil, el español es divertido, el origami no es fácil" - ale_rd, Mar 15, 2011
Thanks(: - bailey009, Mar 15, 2011
Okay, so if there's no definite article used if "español," for example (or anything other noun), is used after a verb, why is it necessary that there be a stipulation that you don't use the def. article after hablar? Thanks again. - iloveamystery, Mar 16, 2011
