La regla · The rule
The forum post is the informal twin of the letter, and B1 exams love it. It needs an opinion, a reason and an example — in that order, in about 150 words.
Y también · And also
Personalmente, me parece que… opens it. Por ejemplo, la semana pasada… grounds it. ¿Y ustedes qué opinan? hands it back. Tú or usted depends on the forum, and consistency matters more than the choice. Me parece que takes the indicative, like creo que.
Ojo · Watch out
me parece que takes the indicative, like creo que: me parece que tienes razón. And ¿y ustedes qué opinan? is the Latin American plural you; in Spain you will read ¿y vosotros qué opináis?
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with personalmente.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 28 in Module 7 are the written half of this page.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
