Thank you for the feedback John, this lesson gives people a test of how the spoken Spanish part of the course will start, the only way you will tune your ear is with hours of practice and that is what the spoken section offers…. people think that the hard part is going to be speaking, but it is definitely not, the incredibly hard part is hearing what they say when they speak at a normal speed which is what the spoken section is all about…. when you get to the spoken section, you will have hours on end of practice like this, you may not love me as much after a few hours of torture!!

I do not have the benefit, or pleasure, of living in Spain and had to play each video at least twice. That said, I detected a modicum of improvement in my ability to understand spoken Spanish, which is a testament to your impressive course and teaching. Thank you.

The printed notes that are beneath every lesson, when you go to spoken lesson number one, you will see the notes immediately below the Video, you are to look at the notes before watching the lesson

Hi, at the start of the session “practice 00” James says read your printed notes first before watching the video. What printed notes is he referring to ?

Hola!
Great question! What you did with the core Lessons was brilliant and something I recommend everybody do! With the spoken lessons this is not possible for two reasons, one because when you get to spoken lesson 17, you are not to look at the notes for all of the interactive lessons, with the interactive lessons, looking at the notes would totally destroy the theme of the course, so you are supposed to do them blind, the notes are there just in case you cannot get any of the answers and you have to look at the notes to see the correct word as you cannot hear it…. They are basically there for emergency used to stop people asking me what specific word I am using on sentence number 100….
Also, some of the spoken lessons have more than six sheets of notes to them, because there is just so much spoken content and printing the entire spoken lessons, at a guess because it has never been done, would be 200+ sheets.
So short answer is no, such a document does not exist because it would be too large of a file and there are certain lessons that you will find out that you are not supposed to look at the notes.

Aw thank you James, after a year and a half of talking with my pen pal who lives in your favourite place Murcia ( haha) I’m finally meeting her face to face in 3 weeks when I fly out there.

I want to say “a true friendship is a journey without an end” “Una verdadera amistad es un viaje sin final.” Thank you
