This is an execellent teaching tool. I am enjoying learning to speak Spanish. I have a lot of Hispanic tax clients. These guys are excited to see me learn the spanish language. The communication and relating to my clients is wonderful. I am 57 years old and I am Learning Spanish faster than I learned English, thanks to your program.

Keep it up!!!!

Muy bien,

You have done some very nice work!

I wanted to take a minute and answer Lauren’s question from the comment above.

When you are talking about liking a person, it is best not to use the “Me gusta” construction. Me gusta is used for liking things and actions.

When you like a person, it is better to use the verb “caer,” which is literally “to fall.” You will still construct the phrase in a similar way as “me gusta.”

For example, “I like you” would be,
“Me caes (tú) bien.” – which literally means, “To me, you fall well.”(This is the Tú informal form)

or

“Me cae bien, usted” = “To me, you (formal) fall well.”

Also, “I like him” would be “Él me cae bien.”

Likewise, “I like them” would be “Ellos me caen bien.” And so on.

In the same way, you may express your dislike of a person by using “mal” instead of “bien.”

Example: “I don’t like him” would be
“Él Me cae mal” or literally, “He, to me, falls badly.”

Hope this helps.

Thanks again to all of you for watching Rolling R’s and for your interest in learning Spanish.

Nos vemos,

I am enjoying your podcast very much. It is muy importante to my Spanish studying. I had an idea I wanted to pass on. Is there a way you could recommend, whether on your podcast or website, some good Spanish singers that could be helpful in listening to in order to become more familiar with Spanish sounds and words as well as Spanish music culture. I suppose the same could go for movies. Thanks again.
