Frequent doubts

What is the difference between “menos mal” and “por fin”?

Menos mal expresses relief because something bad did not happen: Menos mal que me ayudaste. Por fin expresses that something long awaited has finally happened: ¡Por fin has llegado!

How do I express resignation?

With ¿qué se le va a hacer?, en fin or ¡vaya por Dios!: nothing can be done, so we accept it. ¿Qué se le va a hacer? Ya tendrás otras oportunidades.

Is “¡maldita sea!” rude?

It is an exclamation of annoyance: informal, but not offensive. Use it with friends, not in a formal context.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as many times as you want, with no account and no email. We recommend reviewing the related materials and coming back a few days later.

The test doesn't load on my phone. What can I do?
