  1. Ole,
    I found your pod casts on medifly.com and they are really great.I’m in Cleveland, Ohio and I listen to you pod casts at work.
    Your teaching method agrees with me.
    Here at the tool&die shop, I have a Spanish friend that I’m trying to learn to converse with.
    it’s fun challenge.
    Thank you for the help.

  4. I really like the theme music it’s really ‘authentic’. All the things you learn stay in your head and you are unlikely to forget them. I really like the structure and the way Mark and Kara talk because it is very easy to understand. =D =/ =1

  7. Am LOVING these podcasts – they’re the perfect length, and I’m finding they move at just the right speed. Now that I vivo en Miami, I have ample opportunities each day to practice what I learn during my new fun coffeebreaks en Enspanol.

    • “Soy” means “I am”. “Vivo” means “I live”. In both these verbs the “I” is indicated by the ending -o. There is a specific word for “I” in Spanish – it’s “yo”, but you don’t need to say “yo soy” or “yo vivo” unless you want to stress the “I”.

  10. ”Fatal” — this response to the question ”how are you?” is very Spanish, as in from Spain, and not used AT ALL throughout Latin America. People will understand you, undoubtedly, and I’m not saying it’s incorrect, but understand this is not a ”standard response” when in Latin America and wanting to let someone know you’re not doing well at all. I imagine this situation will apply numerous times in these episodes since there are so many differences with the way Spanish people express themselves vs gente latina. I do have to say the Scottish accent in English is very entertaining (and is my favorite accent from the UK).
