Thank you for this lesson. I have been living in Mexico for a year and have come to a paltue in my Spanish learning. The program I had been using isn’t working on my computer at the present. I actually didn’t realize the diff between tambien and tampoco. Funny thing is Iv been using them anyway. lol Thanks for the verification.

I’m a little bit confused about ‘tampoco’ In your first example it appears in a sentence without negative: tampoco me gusta ver la television. but then you say that it uses in sentences with negative: no me gusta estudiar. no me gusta tampoco. Or may be my English is limited yet to catch your explanation Anyway thank you.
By Señor Jordan, January 28, 2010 @ 8:17 am

Tampoco can go before to replace ‘no’
or it can go after the verb as long as you use ‘no’

Correcto:
1. No me gusta la pizza tampoco.
2. Tampoco me gusta la pizza.

Incorrecto:
1. Me gusta la pizza tampoco.

I took part in a brief session of Spanish classes at a local university and was introduced to your lessons as a resource. Your short lessons are great and give me more practice and understanding of things that were covered and others that were not. Keep up the great work. Gracias, mi amigo!

What’s is the difference between ¿y tu? And ¿y a ti?
By Señor Jordan, June 25, 2010 @ 11:28 pm

We use ¿y tú? with most verbs and in most contexts to mean ‘and you?’

However, we’ll use ¿y a ti? with gustar (and verbs that follow the same pattern).

Literally we’re saying:
(A mí) Me gusta la clase. (Class is pleasing to me.)
(A ti) Te gusta la clase. (Class is pleasing to you.)
