Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, using ‘sus’ signals respect or formality, especially in academic settings. If you’re speaking to a peer, switch to ‘tus’. Also, Spanish speakers often use ‘interesante’ to describe both the subject matter and the teaching style, so the phrase can refer to either the content or the way it’s delivered.
