SpanishPod - lianes Conversations http://spanishpod.com Learn Spanish on Your Terms en-us <![CDATA[Re: New Lesson Publication Schedule]]> First, let me belatedly add that I too am pretty disappointed in the news of reduced content.  As with most of the commenters above, I joined for the intermediate and advanced podcasts, and the news that there will be fewer of them definitely makes me rethink whether I'll renew my membership.

I want to stress that you guys do a fabulous job on your podcasts. I'm pretty familiar with what else is out there, and your podcasts have definitely been well worth the subscription cost.  I feel that to de-emphasize them in favor of grammar/exercises is a mistake.

On another note, a small suggestion: On your French podcast reviews, you generally go over perhaps 9-10 new vocabulary words, whereas on the Spanish podcast reviews you only review 5 new vocabulary items.  Any chance on upping the number of target words in your review podcasts here?

Por último, estoy de acuerdo con docmolly (arriba) en cuanto a unas discusiones con todo el equipo en Del Taco al Tango.  JP, tu nivel de español (¡y de francés!) me impresiona muchísimo. No nos importaría si de vez en cuando Liliana (o tú, o quién sea) corrigiera a alguien en el podcast.  La mujer de Ben Curtis (de Notes in Spanish) le corrige todo el tiempo en sus podcasts, y lo importante es que nos muestra que los errores son inevitables; hay que aceptarlos y seguir adelante.  En eso se aprende y se mejora.
