disculpa he descubiero tu blog y ya estoy comenzando ha entender varias cosas que daba por sentando y te podría hacer una sugerencia….los audios que has colocado en tus entradas será que puedas recopilarlas en una carpeta zip?? cada 3 o 6 meses o por año, es que en la anterior lección desee bajar el audio de las palabras y no pude, me gustaria poder bajarlas y así escucharlas mientras viajo en bus o estoy realizando otras actividades, gracias y sólo es una sugerencia.

maravilloso tu esfuerzo!!
que tengas mucho éxito en todo lo que te emprendas!!

I think what you mean is that you can say “I spend the morning studying”, for example, and that that tells you when and not how much time. I would argue that it tells you both, but imprecisely. For example , if you spend ten minutes studying in the morning you can’t claim to “spend the morning studying”. “Spending the morning” implies spending most, if not the whole, morning doing something, just as if you say “he spends his money on drinking and hookers” it means he spends the lion’s share on those two things.

Yes, that eternal tension between quantity and quality. . . I personally tend to lean on the “less is more” side of things, but one of the most important things when learning a language is the sheer number of hours you put in.

See you! Zach

“time” is fairly implied in “how much you study” just like “food” is implied in “how much you eat” or “money” is implied in “how much does this cost?”

“how much” is important because the distinction between “how” and “how much” which of course is invisible here because “how” is hiding behind its synonym “the way” but in general there is a whole class of debatable advice on living of the form

How you X is more important than how much you X

which of course represents the universal tension between quality and quantity, the contemplation of which has driven many men (especially editors) mad.

I am thrilled that Zac’s Spanish is apparently now better than his English

The way you study is more important than how much time you spend studying.
