    Default Pleas help with simple sentence.

    I would like to know how to say:

    "Chris thinks it is very strange you did not tell him you were taking spanish classes."

    I would really appreciate this.

    Thank you in advance.

    smack, welcome to the forum.

    Chris piensa que es muy raro que no le hayas dicho que estás dando clase de español.

    Taking Spanish classes significa estudiar. Teaching es dar clases.

    Chris piensa que es muy raro que no le hayas dicho que estás estudiando español.

    Another option would be: A Chris le pareció muy extraño que no le dijeras que esabas tomando lecciones de castellano

    Hope it helps


    Truly, my dear young friends, you are a chosen generation. I hope you will never forget it.

    No sé para dónde es la frase. Pero en España se dice así

    dar clases de inglés= to study English

    Dependiendo del contexto: to teach Englsih..jeje, se dice igual

    It's quite confusing Exx, don't you think?

    dar clases- to teach
    tomar clases o estudiar inglés- to take classes or to study

    That's the way it is in Argentina

    Best regards,

    Even here we have to ask sometimes: well, so do you teach or take the lessons? jeje

    Siempre decimos dar clases de todas formas. Para un extranjero sobre todo difícil de comprender
