]]> <![CDATA[Re: Thank you, Carmentheintern; 400 Lessons; and do we have to talk about it?]]> Thank you SpanishPod team for your wonderful podcasts at all levels.  I am an 'elementary' level and yet I listen to all the levels.  This has increased my comprehension of spoken Spanish by such a large measure that I am functioning very well in a Spanish conversation class.  Most of the other students are very impressed with my skills! 

My skills in interacting with native speakers are still not good enough to support more than a very basic conversation.  SpanishPod fills an enormous gap, but  adding an interactive component would be a plus. 

LoMasTV's media is really good, but it is not enough to build fluency. Some combination of interactive media wold IMHO be the best approach.

Diet Coke is more sweet than Coke with sugar.  I like diet Code very much, but I try to drink only one a day.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: The Hillbilly Edition]]> In the Washington, DC area there are many opportunities to speak Spanish, understanding the responses is the trick!  Here we have Mexican, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, and many other accents.  My one friend from  Spain found that her acquaintances in this area assumed she had a lisp!

I study because the language is beautiful, and I love 'breaking the code'.  I'm always pushing into reading more difficult literature.  I also studied French for many years and dabbled in Chinese and Russian in college.  Spanish is my passion now because so many people in the US speak it.  I've met many fun Spanish  speakers. 

The food is great, too!

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Divorced]]> Gracias, JP por la referencia a la lengua latina.  Thank you JP for the reference to the Latin language.  I enjoy the grammar and linguistic history very much.

I relate barbaro to 'barbarian' and would think that que barbaro tends to mean 'what an uncouth (barbaric, mean) ...'
