Although grammatically correct in Spanish, saying "Has olvidado las llaves" ["You've forgotten your keys"] to someone implies that he or she has done so on purpose! This four-part lesson from El Aula Azul is dedicated to the "no fault se construction" that is more commonly used to describe such involuntary circumstances.

Let's listen to a couple of examples of flash fiction stories to better understand what this literary genre is all about. Entitled "Destino" [Fate] and "Soñando despierta" [Daydreaming], both pieces received awards at prestigious international flash fiction contests.

In the first part of this series, Carlos introduces us to the characteristics of flash fiction, a literary genre distinguished by its succinctness and ability to capture the reader from the first word to the last.

In this last part of our series on "gustar" at El Aula Azul, we continue our practice with conjugating this verb in the singular and plural based on the students' vacation recommendations for their teacher.

In this class at El Aula Azul, we learn about many of the things that the teacher likes and dislikes, and based on those, her students give her recommendations regarding her vacation. Luckily, in contrast to many other Spanish verbs, we only have to worry about conjugating the verb "gustar" [to like] in the present in two ways- singular or plural.

Professor Ester at El Aula Azul teaches us how the verb, "gustar," works and how the manner in which it is conjugated differs from the conjugation of reflexive verbs.

In this second part of this lesson on grammatical agreement, Carlos explains verb agreement, or the necessary correspondence of number and grammatical person between a verb and its subject.

In the second part of El Aula Azul's lesson on the verb, "gustar," the students learn how it functions differently from other verbs and begin to learn how to conjugate it with the various personal pronouns.

There are two types of grammatical agreement in Spanish: noun agreement and verb agreement. In this chapter, Carlos explains to us the concept of noun agreement. Let's see what it's about!

At El Aula Azul, the teacher asks her students for recommendations for her vacation. The students all have different suggestions, but... which one does she like?

Do you get confused when it comes to choosing between the prepositions "por" and "para"? In this series of videos, Carlos will clearly explain the difference between the two, with plenty of examples.

Let's learn how to conjugate some regular and irregular verbs in past continuous with Cleer!

With examples from the famous tale, "The Ugly Duckling," Cleer touches on some of the verb tenses typically employed in children's stories in Spanish.

Cleer reads us the classic tale, "The Ugly Duckling," by Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen. The well-known moral of this story is: "Don't judge a book by its cover."

Ana Carolina delights us with her user-friendly recipe for preparing a healthy and balanced "picadita mexicana" [Mexican appetizer].

In this last part about the use of the second conditional, the students at El Aula Azul practice what they have learned with sentence examples.

In our last session at El Aula Azul, we contemplated what we would do if we won the lottery. Now it's time to employ different verbs and situations in order to continue to practice the second conditional. Let's see what the students come up with!

How could a dinosaur, a toy car, a rope, and a mystery box possibly relate to one another? Employing those items, Ana Carolina demonstrates to us how to use prepositions of place.

In this segment of El Aula Azul, we'll learn how to form the conditional tense with -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. Our instructor, Idoia, however, points out to us, that there are some irregular verbs, such as "hacer," that do not follow this formula.

El Aula Azul's Idoia reiterates her "perfect trick" for conjugating verbs in the imperfect subjunctive while introducing us to the name of the verb tense that often follows it.

Ana Carolina invites us to learn the Spanish words for a multitude of objects in her favorite room in the house, her bedroom.
