Answer 2

22 of 28 Very interesting!! Thanks!

Well done :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 28, 2013

Answer 3

Thank you, Kiwi-Girl. I answered 23 out of 28 correctly. I answered Gringo's question the same because I thought cenar meant 'to have dinner' and comer meant 'to eat' and 'cama' was a bed.

Your welcome and yes you're both right there must be a glitch I'll go and check it, thanks for posting, all feedback is gratefully received. :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 28, 2013

Answer 4

Thanks for your feedback peeps. I hope you enjoyed the exercise as something a bit different. I hope to be adding more each week so feel free to register if you want to keep track of your scores and watch your progress.

A big thank you to Gringo and Jlwilso for helping me to catch an error, it's all fixed now. So you can all give yourselves an extra point if you chose 'cenar'.

If anyone spots any other errors or has any requests or suggestions please let me know as I really appreciate all constructive criticism and feedback.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Then 24 / 28 for me jejeje. Thanks again, Kiwi:) - migelis, Sep 28, 2013

Answer 5

Question 18: se sentió solo

I have a small problem with the correct answer, in English.

I think it would be better to say: He felt sorry for himself.

Just' 'he felt sorry,'' to me means he was sorry for something he did..( Maybe he was). I choose that he felt lonely, it seemed more reasonable than that he felt sorry, in general.

Good game, Kiwi, many congrats and thanks for doing it!

tienes toda la razon amiga, mil gracias la he arreglado :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 16, 2013

De nada, un buen ejercisio. - annierats, Dec 16, 2013

Answer 6

28/28 I guessed at enredaderas and you had fixed the cenar question. Looking forward to the next one. What a great Idea!

Great work. I better get busy then, lol! - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 30, 2013

Answer 7

27 of 28. But I answered #6 Cenar. And it marked it wrong. So after Kiwi corrected #6 I only missed one.

1. Which verb means 'to eat dinner'?

   cama comer cenar

   Ah, qué pena esa no quiere decir' to eat dinner'.

The other #25 was a stupid mistake. Oh well. A very good video.

Thanks for the feedback gringo I'll go and check the quiz :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 28, 2013

Kiwi is this website yours? - gringojrf, Sep 28, 2013

yes, it's a little project I'm doing, teaching myself webdesign at the same time as I'm building a little site for learning English and Spanish. I hope to be able to complement sites such as SD with lots of nice free resources :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 28, 2013
