Lesson#1
In Spanish, to talk about what you like, you often use verbs that work differently from how they do in English. You already know 'gustar'. For example, 'Me gusta el chocolate' literally means 'Chocolate is pleasing to me'. The person who likes something is the indirect object, and the thing that is liked is the subject.
Quiz#2
Translate into Spanish: I like the book.

Me gusta el libro.

Lesson#3
Several other verbs follow this same pattern. To say you love something, you can use 'encantar'. To talk about what interests you, use 'interesar'. And to say something bothers you, use 'molestar'.

Me encanta la música.
