This time, Carlos talks about valuations, or opinions in which one makes a value judgment about something or someone. Let's learn four simple formulas to express valuations in Spanish.

This time, Carlos focuses on general opinions with no value judgments. Through several examples, he teaches us some of the most common verbs found in this type of sentence as well as giving us two simple formulas to create both the positive and negative versions.

In this first episode of his series on expressing opinions in Spanish, Carlos both defines the term "opinion" and categories opinions into three distinct groups with examples.

In the second part of this lesson that deals with the Colombian series "Sucursal del Cielo," Carlos focuses on the "voseo," or use of the second person singular pronoun "vos" that is used in lieu of "tú" in certain regions, dealing specifically with the manner in which it is employed in Cali, Colombia, where the show takes place.

Carlos offers us some commentary about the challenging series La Sucursal del Cielo, focusing in this first part on some aspects of the city in which it is set.

Carlos and his Uncle Fredy talk to us about the tradition of the "año viejo" in Colombia. Literally meaning "old year" (and also the name for the "New Year's Eve" holiday), an "año viejo" is symbolic doll that can represent a multitude of themes and especially the leaving behind of the sorrows, failures, and suffering of the year that is ending in order to kick off a better New Year.
