I
have tried several methods of learning Spanish, including
group courses, which I found difficult, firstly because
fitting the classes into my busy time-table was not
easy as I work. And secondly, because I didn't always
feel I could ask the teacher to repeat something
or explain further because the rest of the class
didn't seem to need it.
I am not a complete beginner so for me being able
to pick the lessons that i need to learn is great.
I can look at them over and over again until I am
sure i understand, as well as complete the exercises
to check myself.
I have also re-visited lessons I have previously
learnt to ensure I haven't forgotten.
The lessons are well thought out and presented and
the website is easy to navigate.
Well done for producing this site. I am looking forward
to improving my Spanish with it. Wendy Morgan

Peter followed Jose's directions
and quickly found the hostel. It was very central and
close to La
Latina, an area of Madrid famous for its many ‘tapas’
bars and restaurants. Peter entered the hostel and spoke
to the lady behind the reception desk, who he guessed
was the ‘dueña simpática’
that José had told him about.
Peter: Buenos días, señora
Dueña: Buenos días, ¿en que puedo
servirte?
P: Necesito una habitación
D: Muy bien. ¿Para cuánto tiempo?
P: Para una semana
D: Bueno, tengo una habitación disponible. No
es muy cara porque no tiene buena vista
P: Bueno, para mí eso no es importante. No voy
a pasar mucho tiempo en la habitacEón. Estoy
en Madrid para practicar mi español
D: En este caso tienes que pronunciar habitación
así: HA-BI-TA-CIÓN
P: A ver. HA-BI-TA-CIÓN. Gracias por la corrección
D: De nada, aquí tienes tu llave
P: Muchas gracias, hasta luego
D: Adiós
Peter went to his room, unpacked
and took a shower. He was getting hungry, so decided
to find a nice tapis bar.
