Notas

In this class, we mainly focused on the difference between para and por. This is a pretty hard concept to wrap one's brain around, since these words don't directly translate into English. Most of the time, the translation for both words is given as "for," even though each word is used in different situations. The words can also translate into "by," "because of," "through," "around," and so on ad nauseum. The only way to learn it is by studying it diligently and practicing it a lot. I highly suggest you read pages 297 and 298 of ¡Arriba! until you know it cold and become intimately familiar with the following exercises, especially 9-12. If I have time, I'll make some copies of a section of a workbook that I have and bring them in on Friday morning.
