I started the beginner class in February of 2014, almost 3 years ago.

We've done the grammar past the subjunctive, etc.

I should clarify that my dislike of French is the phonology in listening.

I just signed up for another class in French.

So it could be holding hands, kissing, snuggling but not necessarily to deed itself, and therefore is not "vulgar" or innapropriate to say?


It was on that game show, so I assume it's OK

What happened to Chileno?

Just curious,

He was very prolific and helpful, and I found him on the "spanishdict" site answering questions (not sure of the date).

Anyone know why he's not been around in a while?
