School Subjects in Spanish

If you want to find out what someone’s favorite school subject is, you ask, ¿Cuál es tu curso favorito? The respondent would then say, Mi curso favorite es ______. Pretty straightforward isn’t it? See how easy it is to start using meaningful language structures in Spanish.
