Cultural Tip

In Spanish, the adjective 'interesante' is normally paired with the verb 'ser' because it describes an inherent quality, not a temporary state. Using 'estar' (e.g., *está interesante*) would sound odd unless you are talking about a momentary impression, like a performance that is currently captivating. Also, adding 'muy' is a common way to emphasize enthusiasm without sounding overly dramatic.
