Lesson 11 concentrates on dealing with problems associated with languages. You’ll learn how to say which languages you speak and ask for help understanding what is being said to you in Spanish. Please note that lesson 11 of Season 1 was originally known as lesson 111 of Coffee Break Spanish. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1-40 to make things more simple for our listeners.

i have a question in the days of the week… why do u say sabado as (savadoh) and viernes as (biernehss)…is the b to be pronounced as v and the v 2 be pronounced as b?
the b’s and v’s r pronounced as a mixture between a b and a v.
hope this helps
Just listened to this episode… I wanted to learn to play the violin this year – but maybe I’ll switch to Spanish? Thanks for all your work!
I’ve always wanted to learn! Maybe this will give me the motivation to get out there and learn it.
What is ‘Tom bein”?
‘Tom bein’ is possibly ‘Tambien’ meaning also or too.
Hope this helps

Sabado is indeed sabado, while ”biernes” is spelled viernes.

Hello Marc and Kara,
I am German and I learn Spanish. I found your lessons on amonzon for my kindle. The lessons are really helpful and very good. It’s perfect to practise English and Spanisch at the same time and I thank you very much that you podcast the lessons also on your webside. Your are doing a perfect job.
YOu should really have a printable note sheet to go along with each lesson
Something important about Spanish is that we generally don’t have a clear difference between the b sound and the v sound. What you will find is that the b sound (like in sabado) tends to be so soft that we don’t even close our lips when saying it.
its preety cool
