Entre marzo y abril, mi amiga y yo practicamos cómo exponer sin mirar tanto el móvil.

Yes. Entre marzo y abril literally means between March and April, but in natural English it often corresponds to between March and April, from March to April, or during March and April, depending on context.

In Spanish, entre X y Y is a common way to place something within a time span:

• Entre marzo y abril = during the period covering March and April

So here it tells you when the practice happened.

Practicamos is the preterite form, which usually presents the action as a completed event or as something viewed as a whole.

• practicamos = we practised
• practicábamos = we used to practise / we were practising

In this sentence, Entre marzo y abril frames the practice as something that happened within a specific period, so the preterite sounds very natural.

Compare:

• Entre marzo y abril, practicamos... = we practised during that period
• Cuando éramos estudiantes, practicábamos... = we used to practise when we were students

Spanish usually puts yo after the other person in coordinated subjects, just like English prefers my friend and I rather than I and my friend.

So:

• mi amiga y yo = natural
• yo y mi amiga = understandable, but less natural in most contexts

It is mainly a matter of usage and politeness.

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

Here:

• practicamos already tells you the subject is we

So mi amiga y yo practicamos is enough.
You could say nosotros practicamos, but it is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Nosotros practicamos, pero ellos no. = We practised, but they didn’t.

Here cómo exponer means how to present or how to give a presentation.

Spanish often uses:

• cómo + infinitive = how to + verb

Examples:

• No sé cómo empezar. = I don’t know how to start.
• Aprendimos cómo hacerlo. = We learned how to do it.

So:

• practicamos cómo exponer = we practised how to present

The word cómo introduces the idea of the manner/way of doing something.

No. Although exponer is related historically to expose, in many educational or professional contexts it means:

• to present
• to give a presentation
• to explain something in front of others

In this sentence, exponer most likely means to present orally, such as in class or in a formal setting.

So depending on context:

• exponer un tema = to present a topic
• exponer una idea = to present an idea
• estar expuesto al sol = to be exposed to the sun

This is a good example of a word that does not always match the obvious English look-alike.

After sin, Spanish normally uses an infinitive when the subject stays the same.

So:

• sin mirar = without looking

Pattern:

• sin + infinitive

Examples:

• Salió sin hablar. = He/She left without speaking.
• Aprendí sin estudiar mucho. = I learned without studying much.

You would use a different structure only if the subject changes:

• Me fui sin que me vieran. = I left without them seeing me.

Here, the same people who practised are also the ones not looking at the phone, so sin mirar is correct.

Here tanto means so much or so often, depending on how you translate it naturally.

• mirar tanto el móvil = to look at the phone so much / so often

It softens the idea a little. It does not mean they never looked at the phone at all, only that they wanted to avoid looking at it too much.

Compare:

• sin mirar el móvil = without looking at the phone
• sin mirar tanto el móvil = without looking at the phone so much

In Spanish, the definite article is often used where English might use a possessive or a more general phrase, especially when the meaning is clear from context.

So:

• mirar el móvil often means look at your/the phone
• here it refers naturally to the phone they were using while presenting

In Spain, el móvil is the normal everyday word for mobile phone / phone.

Compare:

• He perdido el móvil. = I’ve lost my phone.
• No uses el móvil en clase. = Don’t use your phone / mobile in class.

Yes, mostly. In Spain, móvil is the standard word for mobile phone.

In much of Latin America, you are more likely to hear:

• celular
• sometimes teléfono

So:

• Spain: el móvil
• much of Latin America: el celular

A learner of Spanish from Spain should definitely get used to móvil.

Yes. It depends on whether you use British or American English.

• British English:
  • verb: practise
  • noun: practice
• American English:
  • verb and noun: practice

So practicamos can be translated as:

• British English: we practised
• American English: we practiced

Yes, effectively it functions as the thing that was practised.

In:

• practicamos cómo exponer sin mirar tanto el móvil

the whole clause cómo exponer sin mirar tanto el móvil works as the content of what they practised.

You can think of it as:

• We practised [how to present without looking at the phone so much].

Spanish often allows this kind of clause after verbs like:

• saber
  • cómo + infinitive
• aprender
  • cómo + infinitive
• practicar
  • cómo + infinitive

Not with exactly the same meaning.

• practicamos exponer... sounds less natural here
• practicamos cómo exponer... clearly means we practised how to present...

If you remove cómo, Spanish usually prefers another structure, for example:

• practicamos la exposición = we practised the presentation
• practicamos exponer sin mirar tanto el móvil might be understood, but it is less idiomatic in this context than practicamos cómo exponer...

So cómo helps express the idea of method/technique.

It most naturally attaches to exponer.

So the meaning is:

• we practised how to present without looking at the phone so much

In other words, the goal of the practice was to improve the presentation habit of not relying so much on the phone.

It does not primarily mean:

• we practised, and while practising we didn’t look at the phone much

That interpretation is possible in theory, but it is much less likely here.

Yes, very strongly. In school, university, and professional settings, exponer often means:

• to present in front of others
• to give an oral presentation
• to explain a topic publicly

So a Spanish learner should recognise that exponer in this kind of sentence is often connected with:

• presentations
• speeches
• oral exams
• class assignments

It is very natural and helpful, though in some short sentences punctuation can vary.

The comma separates the introductory time phrase:

• Entre marzo y abril, ...

This is similar to English:

• Between March and April, my friend and I...

It makes the sentence easier to read, especially because the opening phrase sets the time before the main clause begins.
