It seems unnecessary for group/conversation posts to repeat in the activity stream.

There are so many places in SpanishPod to practice writing that it's getting confusing:  Comments section of the lessons, groups, Activity Section and Twitter?

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Todo Bajo el Cielo]]> Martinillo, thanks.  Your information about the Quicktionary is very useful.

]]> Martinillo, thanks.  Your information about the Quicktionary is very useful.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Todo Bajo el Cielo]]> I use a paper dictionary and I have two dictionaries on my computer.  Babylon - I use this one most of the time because I can right click on the word and the dictionary opens.  It's great for reading on the internet.  The dictionary also pronounces the word.  I also have Word Magic.  

When I read a book, I either have to sit at the desk to use Babylon or use the paper dictionary.  I usually don't like make lists of words to look up later.  I like to look up the word while I'm reading so I can study the word in the context it's used in the story.

How do you like the Quicktionary?  I've been interested in this product for a long time.  I think it would be great device for reading a book. Does it pronounce the word?

Leszli Kálli fue secuestrada por el ELN (Ejército de Liberación Nacional), otro groupo de guerrillas de Colombia, por más que un año.

]]> <![CDATA[Todo Bajo el Cielo]]> Looks like the group read is off to a good start.  I did read the  few pages of the first chapter and the back cover of the book that are available on Amazon.  I was surprised to notice that the word "bestseller" isn't translated into Spanish.

The local library has the English translation on order.  I've submitted a request to order the Spanish version.

Thanks for bringing Todo bajo el cielo to my attention.  The book sounds interesting, but I'm afraid 464 pages is too much of a commitment for me at this time.  Good luck with the reading project.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Upcoming Changes for Free Subscribers]]> Whether to use the Spanish used in Spain or Latin America will always be a dilemna.  I also live in the USA but appreciate lessons with vocabulary and pronunciation used in Spain. 

SpanishPod is by far the best learning tool I've found.
