I'm currently studying using Assimil's Spanish Without Toil and Spanish With Ease, and I noticed that the older course uses "haga el favor de" in phrases where "puede" is used in Ease. Is the former considered more formal and therefore odd in ordinary conversation? Or are they still used equally in daily conversation?

I suggest you try posting on www.forum.language-
learners.org as you might get a few more answers. Of course this site is still in use but due to various technical issues an alternative forum was set up and is a lot more active than this one. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
