La Clave - The Imperfect Tense

Video not found error! Aeeeeee!!!!!   Must get La Clave fix before it is too late.

Yo no lo puedo ver tambien.

Usually “La Clave” comes out over the weekend.  I bet the link was posted too early.

Hi everyone,

just to let you know, we did have a problem uploading this episode... I am working on it right now, and I can't wait for you all to see it! 

Fingers crossed....

ok, my friends, the problem has been fixed!  Let me know if you still have problems seeing the video...

Bien hecho amigos! gracias por otra La Clave.

Gracias spanishpod! Qué video fenominál! I swear these keep getting better and better.

Sí, sí, Hecho muy bien, amigos!

¡Qué bárbaro!, Estibalitz...Yo no quisiere ser atacado por ti... ;) Eso fue fantástico!

The two example verbs for ar/er verbs are shown differently than the map in the third person plural.  Aren't they supposed to end in "n"?

jennyinbox

yes they should end with an "n"

eg:

ustedes comían

ustedes escribían

i have just had to pass my laptop round so los perigos could see what i was laughing at

Congratulations, the site seems to have grown very popular.

The past few days site response has gotten slow and unpredictable.  I was watching this video when the download stopped in a peculiar edit . . .

JP said, " For example, you can kiss someone." as Esti puckers up and that guy from frenchPod gets this dear in the headlights glaze and a silly grin of anticipation, and all is frozen into the perfect continous imperfect.  The un-consumated kiss.

guess I'll have to come back later to see what DP is laughing about.

Cobre I have noticed the same thing....

cobre ah what delightful irony

when i said my laptop, i meant my brothers. am back on my home machine now and the site is crawling though i doubt that a sudden surge in membership is to blame :-(

Membership?

Well, more people coming, members or not on the weekends could be dragging it down.

More likely, is that they are having the bandwidth sucked out by search engines intently cataloging the same stuff over and over.

The Metalmeet site finally declared all but several anouncement and index pages off limits to search engines, so the contributing members of the non profit could get in to post.

It's a good site and because lots of people refer to it, the search engines go there. I assume the same thing is happening here.

I suspect that if the management did occasional compilings of lists of all words used in these forums and put them into key words of index pages in a seperate directory where there were some good paragraphs of content in the open (on the page) with directions to the internal search engines  and membership.  . . .  an advantage of the key words is that they aren't seen and can contain common misspeliñgs as well as correct ones.

They could point the search engines at the main entry pages and those index pages so that content was indexed for the curious and potential customers. Beef up the internal search engines for all of us,  and we could all give them glowing reviews so that other bots would sniff butt.

dogged pursuit.

The engines are going to scour the site daily otherwise.

Siempre yo tocaba la guitarra en los antros de la ciudad de Vancouver,pero ahora toco la ukulele.Creía que era un buen trabajo,hasta que yo necesitaba más dinero...Sin embargo,me lo pasaba en grande...♫

SAAAAAAAAABEIS ESPAÑOL! (ironía)

Seriously, your're going on really great! I'm Spanish and I am proud of you :D

Hi everyone,

The team has corrected the missing "n" issue on comer and escribir.  I'm glad you spotted that, jennyinbox! 

Please re-download the corrected version from the links above.  Thanks!

Nearly Oscar-worthy the way you folks began the video with a loud, goofy, slapstick sorta approach, then segued into a sweet, melancholic tone of nostalgia that refused to resolve back into its initial jovial take on the standard didactic approach.  In the end, you abandon the unsuspecting viewer to a solitary deliberation on the innocence of childhood and the inevitable passing of youth as yet another year succumbs to a flurry of sodden holiday parties.

Now where'd the rest of that eggnog go? 
No, seriously guys, where'd you put my cup . . .

I bet you guys on spanish pod to make a boring lesson it keeps getting better and better.

Back to the lesson, this verb tense is equivalant to the nglish i used to be running, reading and (JP likes this one like I do) EATING (though it is hard to find a thing i used to but anyway).

I'd like to see the lesson transcript, but it appears that the transcript link just goes to a vocabulary list.  Am I missing something?  Thanks!

That is mislabled.

There are no lesson transcripts for this video series.

Ah, ok thanks for the quick response cobre!
