SpanishPod - simoneb Conversations http://spanishpod.com Learn Spanish on Your Terms en-us <![CDATA[Re: Installing cable]]> I found that one of the very best news sites for intermediate learners is www.newsinslowspanish.com

As the title suggests, they slow it right down, so you can actually UNDERSTAND the news and get used to current affairs vocab without it frustrating the hell out of you! After listening to those podcasts for several months, I can now pretty much understand the news in Spanish at normal speed.

Maybe SpanishPod could do something like this - these guys have filled a real gap in the market!

Adverbs, as the word indicates, are adjectives which describe verbs, such as "loudly"  (he speaks loudly) in English.

One niggly thing - in the expansion, it should read "Breathe with your mouth" and "I can't breathe", instead of "breath", which is a noun, not a verb.

Just thought I'd point that out... :-)
