Did you see the picture of me in my speedos holding the pineapple? That is the last one percent and unlocks the full 100, nope, joking aside I have just looked and your course is 100%, check again. You are a real perfectionist John! Well done!

Hi James, I have just started practice lesson 1 and in a few sentences you have used para (example – in order to visit – in order to cut). Could you please explain why we would say – in order to visit my family or in order to cut the tree, why wouldn’t we just say – to visit my family or to cut the tree. Many thanks
In Spanish, we like to qualify when we are saying “I need” something with a “in order to” necesito dinero para pagar la cuenta, I need money in order to pay the bill…. we do it with other verbs as well like, no tengo tiempo para estudiar, I don’t have time in order to study, rather than just saying, I don’t have time to study….. it’s something that you will get used to when you have heard a lot more sentences in the spoken section and it will become second nature with the select few verbs that we do this (necesito etc)
Hi, how to I receive certification please?
Please email your full name, surname, passport number, or NIE number to info@jamesspanishschool.com
Hi
I still haven’t received my certificate?
Hi, did you send your NIE and passport number to info@?
Thanks. Had the picture been real I’m sure it would have been a classic!!
My profile says 99% complete but all lessons appear complete to me. Can you please advise what the outstanding 1% is?
