These tests are so useful. I got them all correctly answered (I am a bit beyond beginner level) but still learned from it! This is because I "knew" the correct answer by how it sounded (right or not right) and by "las reglas" but the finer distinctions that were once lost on me when I first learned gustar were wonderfully highlighted here! Cynthia, you are just an absolute talent when it comes to language instruction -- and a linguistics geek as well, perhaps? Thank you both for consistently offering material of the finest caliber.
Anyone noticing that I comment a lot on your channel can see that we have had many happy exchanges. They might say, ¨Ah, he´s their friend and he just wants to help them sell books¨. Yes, except for that ¨just¨part and if you´re reading this, you´re onto something GREAT, for yourself! I might have thought that Gordon and Cynthia are ¨just¨taking advantage of their extensive knowledge in Spanish to turn a book¨ but, I would be dead wrong! Gordon, Cynthia, I say to all as I say to you, the amount of CONCERN you have written into those books is humbling to read. For such little money to get REAL, thorough!! (My God Gordon! What is wrong with you?!!) There are so many exercises!! So so many!! Damn dude! Not just a workbook, which I honestly did-not-expect but, every single time I´ve banged my head on a Spanishism, CyGord has written an explanation about it!! It´s like the psychic hotline Spanish series. No joke. Hands down, THE best books on Spanish on Earth. It´s almost as if two super intelligent, loving people got together from Spain and England and wrote 2 lifetime experiences about really learning Spanish. People, do yourself the favor and get the books. These RUclips videos are great but they are 1% of what´s of what´s in those books. hastag WORTH IT hashtag VALELAPENA
Me aprecio mucho sus pruebas a todos niveles. A1 parece sencila pero les estan lleno de pequeños trucos que pueden pueba mi conocimentos y ustedes las explican tan claremente. Gracias y mas por favor Anna
I very much enjoyed that. I just finished Spanish I and we were just touching on the gusta-type verbs. We will expand on that and get into reflexive verbs as well as the preterit in Span II. I appreciate you guys!
Thank you, hearing the explanations whilst also reading the text is super helpful… p.s. bought and received Victors Adventures last week, excelente, excelente, excelente…
Sí, si el verbo es impersonal: No me gusta. -Ni a mí tampoco. No me apetece. -A mí tampoco. Si el verbo es personal: Yo no lo quiero. -Yo tampoco. No sé cantar. -Yo tampoco.
Tengo una pregunta. El número tres. Se puede decir: ¿Te gusta más, la pasta o la pizza? Gracias por su retroalimentación y también sus videos muy útiles. :)

This test format is the best! It's so helpful. This really feels like it's boosting my Spanish. Thank you!

Excellent refresher. Can we say for “ Neither do I”. Ni a mi Tampoco.
Sí, si el verbo es impersonal:
No me gusta. -Ni a mí tampoco.
No me apetece. -A mí tampoco.
Si el verbo es personal:
Yo no lo quiero. -Yo tampoco.
No sé cantar. -Yo tampoco.
Este fue una buena lección. Muchas gracias.
Thank you for this!
Hola Cynthia y Gordon xxx
¡Hola, don Pedro! Cx
Great leccion, I got "most", but missed the "A" for the person, and the "a mi ti".i kept thinking a mi tú".. Keep up the great content..
A mí me, a ti te, a él le, a ella le, a nosotros nos, a vosotros os y a ellos les :)
Question. For number 8 could you also say "A mi, la cae bien"?
A mí + me. A mí is for emphasis, like 'I love pancakes, me', so 'a mí' and 'me' go together. Cx
11:45 is cracking me up
8. yo gusto la.
ya esta
mmmm... no :P
Tengo una pregunta. El número tres. Se puede decir: ¿Te gusta más, la pasta o la pizza? Gracias por su retroalimentación y también sus videos muy útiles. :)
Con 'qué' delante, sí. ¿Qué te gusta más, la pasta o la pizza?
@@vktr17 Exacto. Genial respuesta :)
@@vktr17 ¡Gracias! Entiendo mi error. :)
Got most but the le, les , a mi get caught out. Got 7 out of 12 but silly mistakes .
Si ese fue el cuestionario para principiantes, ¡ creo que estoy en problemas!
¡No me digas! Cx
A mi me gusta
Correcto ;)
I always think of 'gustar' as 'it pleases me'. Then it makes sense.
for no. 11, couldn't you also say "ni yo" for 'neither do I'?
You could say "ni a mí" :)
Why “A mi tambien” why not “a yo tambien”?
Because gustar is closer to meaning 'is pleasing'. So, it's "to me it's pleasing" - A mi me gusta :)
because after a preposition (A) you need to use a prepositional pronoun.
YO is a subject pronoun, not a prepositional pronoun.
