Nice one, good use of the subjunctive :) I've seen 'parece mentira' to mean 'it's hard to believe' as well :) - very useful phrase - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 13, 2011

A mi parecer el subjunctivo es para la gente que entiende lo básico de la gramática completamente.

My original: En mi paracer el subjunctivo es para los gentes que entienden completemente gramática básicos.

In my opinion the subjunctive is for those who fully understand basic grammar.

A veces, los pareces son de engañar. Por ejemplo, ahora parece que el usar de la palabra, "el parecer", está engañando y es más difícil de lo que pensé.

Sometimes looks are deceiving. For example, it now appears the use of the word, "el parecer", is misleading and is more difficult than I thought.
