  1. Hey

    Just a quick question about this lesson, I’ve learnt beofre that mujer means woman, las mujeres the woman. I though esposa was wife?

    Thanks for the lessons their enjoyable and easy to understand.

  2. Found this site and tried a couple of lessons and thought they were great but now I can’t access them at all. I just keep getting a ‘file not found’ message. How can I sort this out?

  5. you say the word for ‘wife’ is ‘mujer’ but that also means ‘woman’, right? i was wondering about ‘esposa’ doesn’t that mean ‘wife’?

  6. I know this. Esposa and mujer both mean wife. My son married a Chilean girl and all her family talked about her being his mujer, which left him falling over with laughter as it sounds so disrespectful in English. On the other hand she is learning English and falls over laughing at all our please and thankyous. “Stop being so painfuly polite”, she hissed at us when we were splatering out Spanish with them. “You’re sounding weird!”

  7. I like the music at the start – people who don’t like it can skip it, but it makes me smile and look forward to the lesson. I found it really helpful that this lesson had a long piece on how to pronounce short ‘r’, even if the trick/method was unorthodox!
    This podcast is better than others for explaining and practising the formal/informal distinction, particularly with regard to conjugating verbs.

  11. Hi Mark and Kara, i am going thru my Spanish from the start again. I am picking up things i missed or had forgotten. Often when you start the podcast, you will say a greeting or pre amble of some nature that often i don’t hear.
    About 3 years ago i purchased the platinum edition, however, i cannot trace it anymore. I bought it in order to get podcast texts etc. 18 mnths or so ago, we did the same for french. Now the French is all i can find. Is there any way that you can search records for proof of purchase?
    I really enjoy your podcasts. I hope you can help.
    Freddy Sparkes.
