Carmen, mi madrina, es de Puerto Rico. Tiene 95 años y era profesora de secundaria. Estuve un par de días con ella y le explicé que estoy ententando a mejorar mi español. Eso lo hizo sentir muy contento y empezó a enseñarme cómo hablar correctamente, en lugar de usar jerga. Antes de eso, no sabía que las estaba mezclando. ¿Hay palabras que hayas descubierto que sean jerga en lugar de palabras formales?

No sé cuándo usar el verbo "parecer" o "parecerse". Por favor, ayúdame. Cuál es la diferencia entre los dos?

I’d like to start listening to music in Spanish a lot more than I have. But I need it to be music that’s not too difficult to understand the lyrics. Anyone have some suggestions?
