Estimados Amigos;

En esta leccion, me hicieron recordar un sistema del Prof. Gregorio Torres Quintero, el cual se basa en los sonidos que se hacen al pronunciar algunas palabras o letras, estoy muy agradecido el poder aprender con ustedes otra lengua y la forma en que lo hacen es la mejor.
Muchas gracias, sinceramente.

I was replaying review lessons from the past couple weeks today and noticed that いろいろ (various) was played in a couple different lessons. Then I realized that it used the same kanji as いろ “color”(色). So if you wanted to say “various colors” it would be いろいろいろ (色色色). It struck me as kind of fun.

ホアンさん>Thank you for pointing this out! We will have it fixed soon :dogeza:

Amyさん> あぶない :shock: ぶつからなくてよかったです!

メーさん> 写真の人、いったい何を見たんでしょうね :lol:

Carlos Ruiz Checaさん>Mucha gracias por el comentario :dogeza:

kellysenseiさん> :lol:

テットさん> Ooh, very close! いろいろ is actually a na-adjective so you need to insert a na after it in this case :smile: いろいろな色!So it breaks it up a little, but it’s still fun to say!! :lol:

ありがとうございました Jessiさん。 Just out of curiosity, did いろいろ(な) derive from 色?
