Be careful. If you say “me cae bien él” or “me caen bien ellos” it means that you like the person/people personally. If you use gustar you may be misunderstood. If you say “me gusta ella” . It would imply a sexual attraction in most of Latin America. I am pretty sure the in Spain it just means that you like the person and is equivalent to saying me “cae bien ella”

Me cae bein = I like her/ I like him/ I like you (ud)

Me caen bein = I like all of you/ I like them

and so on.

you can say "Me voy a llevar mis botas vaqueras"

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Do you know him? ]]> "Ligar" means to "tied" or "bind". But it can also mean "to make out". But I do not think it means “to make out” everywhere Spanish is spoken. See Word Reference http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=ligar

What were your favored episodes of SP.  I think my favors were Amor sin Destino and the one in which Leo and Esti kidnap a woman and Leo was trying to give his demands to a kid who thought that Leo was Darth Vador.  La Clave was the most interesting show on grammar that I have ever seen.  I still cook with recipes that I learned from Cooking with Tabasco. 

I was awful when JP and Esti left but I have to say that Marco and Yenni were great additions to the team.  Bottom line all six of them are outstanding.

Gracias por el “shoutout”  Voy a extrañar los mucho.  Ustedes son los mejores.  No solo porque producen el mejor  podcast en el internet sino por sus personalidades tan amables y es claro que quieren ayudarnos aprender.  Buena suerte.  Siendo come estoy perdiendo mis  amigos.

And those of you who work behind the mic like David Xu and other  who’s  name we never hear.  You guys have done a great job of producing the show and making my friends from spanishpod sound even better.  Thank you.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Changes in SpanishPod]]> Praxis,

I apologize for using the term "rip off". If you are giving full refunds to your users, and not changing them the monthly rate for the time they have used, I can believe that you are wasting an incredible resource i.e. the SP team but you are not stealing.

Thank you nkambaya

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Changes in SpanishPod]]> Hi nkambaya

Can I ask if you got the full value of what remained on your subscription? In other words, if you purchased a 24 month subscription was your refund equal to (What you paid) *(19/24). If so, I owe Praxis an apology for using the expression “ripe off”.

If your refund was equal to (what you paid) - (the monthly rate*5 months) I will let my comment stand.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Changes in SpanishPod]]> I just wanted to be sure that it’s clear that my frustration is with Praxis and not with the four members of the SP team or the technicians who support them.   I think that they are magnificent and truly miss their shows.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Changes in SpanishPod]]> I was a SP users and after receiving an email from Praxis asking me to renew my membership, I came to check out the site.  As much as I enjoyed SP and really liked the SP team, I let my membership expire because as I was feed up with Praxis, in particular the way they would reduce the serves and tell us that they were doing it for our benefit.  This time Praxis went too farther.   They might be able to rip off the current users but I think that they will find a large drop in renewals and I would like to encourage anyone who drops SP because of this change to let Praxis know.  Original Praxis put together a great product with an incredibly talented team and they are destroying it.

En la frase “Pero ahora me estoy arrepintiendo” ¿Dónde está “it”?  diría “Pero ahora me lo estoy arrepintiendo” yo

En la frase  “sólo me da para unas 300 millas” ¿que significa “para”?  Yo diría “sólo me da para unas 300 millas”

Apropósito
Habar en el imperfecto de Subjuntivo= “should have” es nuevo para me, gracias.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Is it real Spanish?]]> I couldn’t agree with Anna more. The are some verbs in Spanish with two versions, one ending in "se" and one not, that look like reflecive verbs but are not. In these verbs, the “se” changes the meaning of the verb. Here are a few example from a book which overs this subject very well.Ir- to goyIrse - to go away or leave

Saltar – to jumpSaltarse – (informal) Illegal jumps e.g. traffic lights or starting signals (like a starting pistol in a race)

Llevar – to wear. To take, to carryLleavarse = to take away

I find that if you try to find a way to think of these verbs as being reflexive it will drive you crazy.
