I noticed the question words written on the board behind you, but you are standing in front of them. It would be great to see what you are writing and presenting. Also (and this is just a minor detail) the written accents on ¿Qué?, ¿Por qué? and ¿Quién? are all over the "e"--not on the "u" ¿Qúe? or "i" ¿Quíen? as they are presented. Keep up the great work!

I took Spanish 101 & 102, but your lessons are making it to where I actually understand the language. I like the way you break the -ar, -er, -ir verbs in the charts. I now understand when to use the pronoun endings! And that I don't have to say "yo" or "usted" everytime to be understood. Your students are very lucky people to have a teacher like you. Keep up the good work! Mucho gusto! Thank you so much for the lessons! I took Spanish 101 & 102, but your lessons are making it to where I actually understand the language.

It's used in Spain mainly. It could be said it's an spanish counterpart of "Thou", both historically and grammatically, but "Vosotros" is in plural. "Vos" is in singular and is the real perfect counterpart. Larry: Great work. You're very good. The lessons are very easy to follow. A steady progress and at the same time keeping it simple. Way to go. @ David

I took Spanish in high school over 25 years ago, so this is a nice refresher. I don't think we ever learned the Vosotros form. I'm a bit confused. Do they use that in Spain? Maybe you could do a Vosotros episode! Or one on how Spanish is spoken different in different places. I’ve enjoyed your podcasts.

As someone who knows some basic spanish, I feel that your teaching of conjugation is limited in that you stick to only the present tense. Obviously, I'm not sure who your intended audience is or if you will eventually build up to the past tense, future tense, and so on, but I just feel that it could have a place in your lessons.

But, ultimately I do miss the video visuals because I am more apt to remember your lessons! Thanks for all the good teaching you do.
