Hi Larry, my 5 year old daughter and I love your program. We live in Japan and do homeschooling in English. I think Spanish is a beautiful language and your lessons are great. I am a language teacher and I am really interested in the acquisition process. As you can imagin, there are few speakers of Spanish here in Japan. Using the AIM network we have been searching for a native speaker of Spanish to do ichat language exchanges with. If you were able to offer a service like that I would be very interested in it. I have searched for a similar service and have also tried to find such a person on my own and it is somewhat difficult. I think that such a service would be unique and people, myself included, would be willingto pay for such a service because you can not learn a language with out practice in it. At any rate thank you for the program that you provide we really do enjoy your lessons.

Hola
I have just started to learn spanish and was wondering if you have any tips for me on how to learn to roll my ‘r’s. I currently work in a doctor’s surgery in Australia where we conduct a spanish clinic 2 days each week. The patients have been very surprised over the past week when I have greeted, thanked, and said goodbye to them. Only trouble is that they then start to really get going with the spanish and I have to then tell them hablo un poco espanol!
Got any suggestions about the ‘r’s??

I’ve just pulled down your lessons for a co-worker and as a brush up for myself.
I’ve just started picking through and I noticed you don’t use Vosotros or Vos - which is used in castellano. Was this just for a few lessons or is it not taught all together?
Thanks!

Keep up the good work. I love your program not only is it helping me but I showed it to my teacher and she is going to play your lessons in our Spanish class.

hi Larry,
it is great for me to get familliar with your web site, and you are doing a great job as well.
however i can just menion to the lack of unity which some times could be seen, i mean that if you can publish all audio file and pdf of your program it would be nice realy,
thanks agian,

I stumbled across your site today looking for help with rolling my r’s. Do you have any tips for those of us that can’t roll our r’s? I can’t imagine it’s possible to effectively speak spanish without this skill. By the way, I think this is a great site. I’ve already shared it with my nephew who is also learning spanish.

I need help extremely badly on my rolling RR’s. Last year my spanish teacher was english so she didnt have an accent and she didnt correct us if we couldnt roll our RR’s. My spanish teacher this year is from spain and grades on pronunciation!! It would be a great help if you could give me some tips. I’ve tried touching your tongue your teeth, all that stuff but i need something that i can practice that will work! Gracias!!
