an interesting video. im from the us and did all my schooling there, and much like you guys we also critisize and have areas we praise about teh school system. depending on where you lvie public schools can be great and offer a stellar education, and it other areas you have to send your kid to something like a concertado (we call them charter schools i think) or a private school. if i moved with kids to spain i dont think i'd want to put them into an international school if they were young enough because i'd wan them to be fluent in spanish and integarate with kdis their age. if they were old maybe something like a 50/50 language school since it gets harder the older kdis get, but i'd want those seocnd language hours. are their resources in public schools for non native speakers? mainly just, extra help getting their language more up to par.

Excellent! One tiny mistake made by Spanish speakers is that some verbs -- eg "explain" and "recommend" -- need "to" before the pronoun to indicate it's the indirect object. "Can you explain me how to ride the bus" should be "Can you explain *to* me how to ..." Without "to" the pronoun "me" is mistaken for the direct object.

yes, but really it should be please could you tell me where I can get/catch the bus from... or please could you explain how...rather than can you explain, because you are not actually asking if they can (as in whether they are able to, have the ability to explain...). You also would not say ´how to ride the bus´ because you are not asking ´how to ride on a bus,´ you are asking where to get/catch the bus or where to get a ticket, for example.

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

@@QueenBee-mk8xm That was only an example. I frequently hear Spanish speakers make this mistake with the 2 or 3 English verbs that require "to" in order to indicate "me" is the indirect object.
