]]> donperigo, LOL so I am not the only one wondering about that

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Don't jump!]]> LOL, I always wondered what "arriba" meant. As a child watching Looney Toons character "Speedy Gonzalez" the dialog always included "Ahí arriba, arriba!".

I'm guessing now that the mice were trying to hide "up there, up there!"

I had always attributed arriba to speed ie., "faster faster". I was wrong.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: It's Not Goodbye]]> JP and Esti, I cannot believe you are both leaving. Even though I do not come here frequently to socialize, I never miss a lesson. You will both be missed greatly...but when I miss you too much, I will go back to all of my previous lessons to enjoy them (you) once more.

Estoy inconsolable! Adios amigos, y gracias por todos! Saludos!

Bienvenido Santiago! Mi amiga Daniela es argentina tambíen.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: Present Tense Part II]]> Well I for one am a visual thinker (umm art background) so this made the most sense for me. Straight memorization never works for me, I need to make visual relationships. This was perfect. I will probably make another for the preterit group as well. Just working on them, is good for my learning.

I showed it to my friend from Argentina and she was amazed and thought it was a great tool.

]]> <![CDATA[Re: tener vs haber?]]> Hmmm JP says there are 5 and only 5 irregulars. So now I am confused. JP?????

OK so..."tener" is to express possession/obligation.

Haber expresses necessity without defining who is perfoming the action...? ummm that is fuzzy for me and I will have to think about it for a while I think.

Thank you for your help.
