This readable companion covers the complete substantive lesson in its original order, including every original question, option and intended answer. It is edited from the full original manual English and automatic caption tracks, with Spanish forms and answers checked against the actual video graphics. Punctuation and caption errors are repaired.

This short grammar and vocabulary quiz is not a validated CEFR placement or a complete assessment of listening, speaking, reading and writing. C2 does not mean native-speaker identity.

Answers retain Lucía’s original intended keys. Some options can form grammatical sentences with a different meaning or context; the notes identify important distinctions rather than treating every alternative as impossible.

Show the original answer
Original answer: C.
Lucho por que nuestra relación salga adelante.
Example translation: I fight for our relationship to succeed.
Separated: two words, no accent.
Learner note — accuracy and context: Por que is the intended combination of luchar por and a que-clause. Porque can also introduce a purpose clause with the subjunctive, meaning in order that; that alternative is grammatical, although less frequent today. It should not be described as an impossible construction. Source: RAE: porque.
11:58 — Question 23
___ ser de tu edad, parece mucho más viejo.
A. para; B. al; C. por; D. de
Show the original answer

Show the original answer
Original answer: B.
Come cuanto te apetezca.
Example translation: Eat as much as you like.
The intended answer is apetezca.
Learner note — accuracy and context: The subjunctive leaves the desired amount open. Apetece is also grammatical when referring to an amount already desired or identified; the context determines the reading. Source: Instituto Cervantes grammar inventory.
12:54 — Question 25
Ese alumno siempre dice que la profesora es maravillosa. ¡___!
A. Es un balón; B. Es muy cocinillas; C. Es un pelota; D. Es un empollón

Example translation: That student always says the teacher is wonderful. He’s a brown-noser!
The video uses the stronger English gloss ass-kisser.
Learner note — accuracy and context: Pelota in this sense is colloquial and means a flatterer. Un pelota is correct for a male referent even though pelota ends in -a. Source: RAE: pelota.
¡Increíble! We have just one level left to become the Spanish master. Even native speakers would fail some of these questions! The video calls this C2, or native level. Let’s go.
Learner note — C2 wording: The source’s native-level phrase is encouragement. CEFR C2 describes proficiency, not being a native speaker; completing these questions alone does not establish that level. Source: Council of Europe CEFR levels, CEFR Companion Volume.
13:28 — C2 — questions 26–30
13:31 — Question 26
Allá donde ___, haz lo que vieres.

Show the original answer
Original answer: B.
Allá donde fueres, haz lo que vieres.
Example translation: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
The traditional saying uses fueres.
Learner note — accuracy and context: Fueres and vieres are future-subjunctive forms retained in this fixed proverb. This does not make the future subjunctive a routine requirement for everyday conversation. Source: Instituto Cervantes: Donde fueres.

Example translation: He liked Barcelona so much that he promised himself and his family they would return.

14:34 — Question 28
Original context: The speaker first says: No es verdad lo que dices.
Ya me has ___ otra vez.
A. contradecido; B. contradicto; C. contraindicado; D. contradicho
Show the original answer
Original answer: D.
No es verdad lo que dices. Ya me has contradicho otra vez.
Example translation: What you’re saying isn’t true. You’ve contradicted me again.
Contradicho is the intended answer.
Learner note — accuracy and context: The irregular participle of contradecir is contradicho, not contradecido. Source: RAE: contradecir.
15:02 — Question 29
Vamos a una manifestación porque queremos que ___ las corridas de toros.
A. abuela; B. abulan; C. abolan; D. abolieran
Show the original answer
Original answer: C.
Vamos a una manifestación porque queremos que abolan las corridas de toros.
Example translation: We’re going to a demonstration because we want bullfights to be abolished.
The intended form is abolan.
Learner note — accuracy and context: Abolan is the regular third-person plural present subjunctive of abolir. The Spanish clause has an implicit plural subject: we want them to abolish bullfights. The natural passive English translation conveys the same desired outcome. Source: RAE: abolir.
15:33 — Question 30
