]]> <![CDATA[Re: Assault with a firearm VII: The Getaway]]> Thanks, Cobre. . Re. "Otra vez, en espanol", I'd rather write here in English and focus on practicing my Spanish outloud. I especially try not to read the posts in Spanish here, because I tend to remember what I read, and I think I'd pick up a lot of mistakes!! No offense to anybody - it just doesn't seem like a good idea!

Here's what I see happening. After the crash, they stumble out of the car to find that the other car they hit was driven by a priest. They're so upset and disoriented that they ask him to hear their confession and then marry them on the spot. Then they agree to drive to the police station and turn in the money. All of this happens with the pink bunny ears still on.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: El parto]]> Hello - great lesson! A couple of things in the PDF:

"...aun sigo dudando si tener un parto natural o no" is translated, "...I still doubt if it's going to be a natural delivery or not". I've never heard the English word "doubt" used that way - we'd say, "I still haven't decided if.." or "I'm still not sure if..."

Also, I hope nobody ever gets "abdominal legions" since that would mean that they had "a large military force" in their abdomen! That would be even worse than "lesions"!!

Cheers,

Patty

]]> <![CDATA[Re: I just said 'yah.' Period. ]]> Hey! The "Pa´que sepas..." is missing from the file's name. I had to add it so that my "smart lists" on iTunes would work!  :-)

But in any case, I always look forward to a Pa´Que Sepas podcast. The name must be short for "So that you know that all of us here at SpanishPod are actually crazy people."  Ha ha!

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Yes, you have to learn the subjunctive!]]> Hey guys! A great Pa´que sepas, but one thing was confusing to me.

You told us what "hacer falta" means, and I think you gave the examples: "Me hace falta una naranja" and "Me hacen falta unas naranjas". So (unless I heard wrong) what is the verb "hace" agreeing with? Is it like "Me gusta..." and so means "Oranges are lacking for me" or something??

Straighten me out, please!  :-)  Thanks in advance!

]]> <![CDATA[Teach me the command form! :-) ]]> Hola todos,

I need to learn the imperative form. Does SpanishPod have specific lessons on it, or an article in Resources?

Help me. Teach me how to say commands. Don't confuse me. Show me where the lessons are. Let the learning begin! (See, at least I can do it in English!)

Cheers,

Patty

Cobre, I have no idea what you're talking about, so, whatever!  :-)

]]> <![CDATA[Re: The Dream]]> Hey all - I was just reading this dialog and actually I think the interpretation of the dream's meaning is obvious. The dreamer sees himself or herself in the role of someone whose job it is to "awaken" Americans! So I think whoever wrote this feels they have a mission to awaken gringos to the importance of the Spanish language.

Ja ja ja! Just thought I'd share.  :-)

]]> <![CDATA[Lindo, hermoso, bonito, guapo...?]]> Hola todos,

I have a vocabulary question! I don't know which of these words to use when: lindo/a, hermoso/a, bonito/a, guapo/a. I'm confused about which words are commonly used to describe a person, and which are commonly used to describe things. And I don't feel sure what the shades of meanings are - cute? pretty? beautiful? gorgeous? hot?

I would love to hear this discussed, I mean argued, on a Pa' Que Sepas (my favorite thing about SpanishPod)! But I appreciate any enlightenment you can offer!

Gracias,

Patty
