        <description><![CDATA[<p>I think three lessons a week is sufficient.&nbsp; And I completely understand the focus on the newbie and elementary levels; both in a business sense and a teaching sense.</p>
<p>There is a huge library of old material and am glad to see that there is some organization of it.&nbsp; However, while I appreciate them grouped in areas of use (travel, missing sandwiches), I would also like to be able to find them by grammatic topic (preterite, imperfect, subjunctive).&nbsp; I think that's important.</p>
<p>One caution I have though is that while enhancing the study efforts on the web site is a good idea, don't lose sight of what brought me here in the first place; the podcasts.&nbsp; My Spanish study time is where-ever and when-ever I can get it, and it usually is far removed from a computer.&nbsp;</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>While I understand Rodney's logic, I've been here for quite a while now and I don't recall any quantification as to the number of lessons that were to be offered.&nbsp; I'd much rather have 3 very good, well thought out, well produced quality lessons than lots of mediocre ones.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The intermediate and beyond help reinforce advanced grammar concepts, but I don't need them reinforced that much at this point.&nbsp; For me, Spanishpod just helps me keep it in memory while I work to increase grammar, listening speed and comprehension.&nbsp; I do that mostly by watching Satcha Pretto, but that's a topic for another time.</p>
<p>The best way to put it is that in the past two years, I've gone from not knowing a thing about Spanish to speaking and listening confidently (mostly).&nbsp;&nbsp; If the goal is fluency in Spanish, doesn't it make sense that Spanishpod will someday cut me lose on the world as a fluent speaker and wean me off their podcasts?&nbsp; Really, who is the loser in this situation?&nbsp; I came, I paid, I learned (with a lot of other sources), I emerged victorious.</p>
