I’m a French Canadian and I really like technology and languages. So this video podcast is really appealing to me. After watching the first episode, I can say that it is really easy to learn with you. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun watching your show, and I want to thank you for all the knowledge you give us for free.
Thank you,
Olivier B. -

We’re really enjoying your podcast and actually learning some Spanish!
The video podcast is such a better format than audio and the short time means that it doesn’t take up too much of your day. The quality of the lessons is very high compared to anything else available
Hope you keep it up!

I just got my video ipod for Christmas and I’ve been wanting to learn spanish ever since my daughter decided to go to college and become a spanish high school teacher. your podcasts are just the ticket!
Thanks and keep up the good work!

I just wanted to thank all of you for your positive and encouraging comments.
I’m excited that you guys have found Rolling R’s to be an effective Spanish-learning tool. Thanks to you, we’re off to a great start!
Sincerely,
Larry Keim -
Hello, I am Erik from China. I also have passion for Spanish. So I begin to learn it. I find your podcast is very useful for me. I think if you can post the script for your every podcast(vedio), it would be better.
-
Larry,
I am trying your podcasts out on my new video ipod. I’ve notice that the 1st installment shows and plays as a podcast but the 2nd (as far as I’ve gone) shows and plays as a video podcast. I downloaded both via iTunes. I’m looking forward to this new tool to finally learn spanish in a useful way.
Thanks, Dale

For those of us who don’t have iPods (there ARE other MP3 players out there!), and who refuse to use iTunes/QuickTime, you can still watch the videos using VideoLAN, which is available for both Windoze and Mac, and supports many protocols, including H.264

Hola, mucho gusto!
Solo le dejo unas lineas para agradecerle lo mucho que esta ayudando a mi novio, gracias a usted ahora el esta listo para introdicirse a mi madre, quien no habla ni un poquito de Ingles!!!
Yo soy de Bolivia, yo hablo Ingles y el es de CT, pero esta aprendiendo Espanol con usted, gracias a sus clases podemos tener pequenas charlas en espanol!!!!!!!!
Un millon de gracias. -
Hello,
I’m Marilo’s Boyfriend. Looks like she beat me to this comment page. I just wanted to say that this Podcast comes in real handy for me, and I have leaned so much from just these seven short clips. I can’t wait to impress her parents when I meet them.
Looking forward to my ipod updating the next episode.
Many Thanks
Jude

Dear Marilo and Jude,
Estoy muy feliz oir que a ustedes les gustan estas lecciones. Me alegro mucho que le estén ayudando a Jude a prepararse para hablar espanol con la familia de Marilo.
Espero que les vaya bien la reunion.
Thank you for watching the show and for your encouraging comments.
All the best,
Larry Keim

Thank you Larry, for taking the time to do these lessons.
I am learning and am applying these lessons everyday.
Keep up the good work – I want to keep learning. -

Vive monsieur Larry!

¡Oje!
This site is a wonderful place. I am so excited to be using your video lessons to enhance my understanding of Spanish. If you have time, would you do a lesson on how to roll your “Rs” correctly?
Regards,
William -
Hey, Larry! Great Video cast! I have just started watching and really love the short, fun lessons with a teacher that holds my interest. Unfortuantely, my PDA does not do video – any chance the lessons will be available in mp3 audio only so I can take them along?
Thanks!
-
Dear Larry (if I may be so bold),
This is excellent, I get it on my iPod and have great fun learning Spanish. Would it be possible to move your body slightly so I could also see the board. I don’t like saying yo pago, took me some time to learn ustedes pagan la cuenta which I find more useful than yo pago la cuenta!
Hopefully I’ll be able to use this when I travel to Spain from England in the summer – could you do a supplement in Catalan?
Thanks again, you’re doing great work,
David

Mr. Kiem, a big thanks for taking time out of your schedule to share your teaching ability with the world. I discovered your pod cast and have been trying to prepare for my trip to Puerto Rico. I was there last year and felt pretty sad that I couldn’t speak a word of spanish (other than the NY street spanish that I have picked up)
Hopefully this year I can at least ask where the bathroom is!
Anyway thanks again its nice to see a person driven by the passion of teaching. -
I really like this podcast. I watched 6 episodes last night while I was lying around in bed and I actually learned something! You do a good job of explaining things quickly and clearly. One complaint, please stop standing in front of the Usted section of the board, it’s driving me nuts! Otherwise you’re great! More! More! More!

I have recently discovered “podcasting” and think this is the wave of the future for all sorts of information delivery… especially learning. You will be numbered among the pioneers. I like your nonpedigogical style…i.e. ustedes means “you guys”. Keep it real. Thanks for a great service!
-
New to my Ipod and to podcasting but this is exactly what I had hoped to find. My adult ADD makes the 5 or so minute episodes perfect and i look forward to these lessons. Especially enjoy an enthusiastic teacher… thanks for making it available.!

I struggled through French in high school. If I had known at the time I would be living in California for 20 years, I would have studied Spanish instead. Now, as a middle-age guy with vague plans of retiring to Chile, I need to get serious about learning something more than menu Spanish. I stated off with a book and CDs from Berlitz, but didn’t get very far. I feel a lot less dumb with the Rolling R’s series. Keep cranking them out, por favor. Oh, and are you going to make the extended podcasts available at iTunes? I’d rather deal with them than PayPal.
-
When I listen to your first video podcast it seems to crash my ipod and I have to reset it. This doesn’t occur in any of the other lessons.Has this happened to anyone else? I have the new 5G ipod 30mg video. I think your free podcasts are great and I think you make it easy to learn. I’m sure your a great junior high teacher.

i’ve picked up on bits and pieces of spanish from friends and co-workers over the years but your lessons help bring it all together in a more comprehensible way. keep up the good work and muchas gracias

Is this available in audio only? I would love to take this along on my .mp3 player.
Great material. I enjoy the lessons very much

I just found these podcasts on IM.com and I have to say, I really enjoy them. I’m trying to learn Spanish to be able to help more of my customers at work. The format is easy to follow, it doesn’t take long in the day, and it’s fun. I hope the podcasts will continue. Keep up the good work!
Adios

Just wanted to say, this is just what I was looking for! I want to become fluent in Spanish and I need the practice! I also disovered your video editing tutorials which will be very helpful when I get my macbook in a few months. Finally making the switch to mac, i can’t believe it.

Hi,
I came across your site looking to see what exactly is video podcasting. Well, I found it.. Thank youDo you know of any teachers using the same method you are but instead teaching “FRENCH”
I’ll greatly appreciate it if you would let me know.
Thanks. -
Great class. Provide PDF of the words english to spanish so we can save to refer later in the day… when away from computer.
Just a suggestion….
Kiran

Thanks a lot -

Help! I cannot roll my r’s. I have tried & tried, my tounge does not seem to roll up or flutter, I have tried to sound out the “d” part of it and that doesn’t seem to work either. Worse, even if I can get a brief passable rolling r sound, I cannot keep it going (like a purrrrr). I am even considering some type of hypnotherapy for this – any suggestions?
-
Thank you, these classes are great so far! I’m going to go to Honduras to volunteer as a nurse for a couple of years, and these classes have been a really great introduction to Spanish, before I start classes for real… so really thank you, and God bless you! (I’ll give you some money too, as someone who volunteers I know that thanks are nice, but when people give you money you know you’re appreciated!)
