What's the difference between 'opinión' and 'parecer'?
They are very similar! 'Opinión' is a standard 'opinion.' 'Parecer' is also an opinion but can feel a bit more like a personal impression or what something 'seems like' to you. You can often use them interchangeably, as in 'en mi opinión' or 'a mi parecer' (in my opinion).
How do I say 'to change your mind' in Spanish?
The most common way is 'cambiar de opinión.' For example, 'Iba a salir, pero cambié de opinión' means 'I was going to go out, but I changed my mind.'
