Hi JP - re the new lessons, will that be for all the lessons or just new styles of excercises for future lessons? If it's old lessons that's quite exciting as I can go review previously studied lessons and refresh my learning (and my memory)!

By:

rachaelt, it's my intention that all of the SpanishPod lessons, past and future, get the new, improved exercises; they should be quicker to download, more stable, and a bit more helpful to learning. We're still in the testing stages, though, so I can't say when they're going to drop. Hold tight :)

By:

Quick question about this dialogue...if you were talking to (or referring to) a woman would you say "burra" instead of "burro"? That seems weird, but I saw Liliana mention somewhere else that cat could be "gato" or "gata" and that hadn't occurred to me before. If the word "burro" is more commonly used for men, is there a different word you would be more likely to use for a woman in this situation?

By:

Hi Sarah

Yes you will say BURRA for a woman and BURRO for a man. The thing is that GATA refering to a woman is INSULTING. It means she is a slut. That is why I said that.

Hope I answered your question.

By:

Yes, everything is clear. I think I will stay away from the word gata. Thanks!

By:

No worries if you have any more questions please let me know.
