Hi Larry,
I realy enjoy the Spanish lessons. I watch your shows ( again and again) on my ipod in the train to work. The combination with the book “Spanish for Dummies” realy works well.
I have one question about the pronounciation of the letter ‘v’ is it always a soft ‘b’? Vivir should be pronounced bibir?
Gracias

Hola Hessel,
Yes, you are correct about the pronunciation of the letter “v.” It is like a soft “b” sound (almost like the b in the English word “boy” — maybe even a little softer, especially when the “v” is in the middle of a word.
Thank you for your nice comments. I’m glad that you are finding these Spanish podcasts helpful.

Larry,
I love the podcasts they are great! Will you be having any more extended podcasts in the future? I thought the last one was fantastic. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and then a bit more Spanish in college but haven’t had anyone to practice with since. (It’s been years since I’ve been in school.) Any suggestions on how I can become more conversive. I still remember quite a bit of what I learned. Any books you can recommend to us or any other advise would probably help all of us listeners. Please keep up the frequency we love it.
Iam intrested in learning the spanish but difficulty in getting the audio and video lesson in india. Really iam intrested in this.
