Clarification on B’s and V’s in Spanish ?

spanish lessons
Falcata asked:


I’m using Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone to study Spanish and I took a year of it at the university.. I know the RAE decided all spellings are supposed to be according to their latin origins when regarding V/B’s.
When I’m doing my Spanish lessons, I still come across some words that sound like a V in English. Even though I was taught V’s disappeared from Spanish due to Basque influence

My practice so far, even at my alma mater, was to pronounce everything as an English style B.
vacaciones = bacaciones
vaca=baca, vamos=bamos ect.

But when I read in Spanish, I tend to have a hard time following this and say “vamos” and “vacaciones” ect. As you’d assume they’d be pronounced as an English speaker.

I think it sounds better that way personally but I want to sound like I have a neutral accent (Columbian/Mexican).

Someone enlighten me on this??

I don’t have any Spanish speaking friends, I just wanted to become bilingual for the sake of it so I’m pretty much alone in this one

Spanish Imperfect tense?

spanish lessons
Jessieeee asked:


I’m in my first year of studying spanish, so it’s quite basic.
I know That “I Live” in spanish in “Vivo en” (I think =])
But I missed all of the spanish lessons that my school were doing on The Imperfect Tense so I don’t know anything about it. We need to write where we used to live and descibe it but I don’t know what to change “Vivo En” into. (to make it imperfect tense.) If anyone knows anything that could help it would be greatly appreciated =] thanks very much
Thank you very much!
