Me too. I have let my studying slide since Matthew and I embarked on our SLS website - You'd think I'd pick it up when editing the videos, but I'm concentrating so much on what I'm doing I haven't been listening! Bit like a plumber who never gets the chance of installing his own bathroom
After nearly 18 months working on it, we are just finishing off, so finally I can start studying again and put our own lessons to good use.
Yes I have started to look at your mini course and find the format very good , the combination of reading, listening and flash cards all help the understanding . I intend to have a good study once my visitors return to the UK.
This is Matthew here, the Spanish teacher on the SLS videos. Welcome to our club, and we hope that you will make plenty of comments on some of the things that you see on these pages.
You are right that you are missing out a lot by not speaking the language. The Spanish appreciate any attempt by foreigners to speak their language, and the satisfaction you get by having a conversation with them is fantastic. Our video lessons are designed for people in your position. You can have a go at the mini-course for free to see if you like the format, and if you have any questions about the course, or about the language, please drop me a line
Hi Sue, Welcome. I too live on a, mostly, English speaking urbanisation. It's frustrating not being able to practise my Spanish. The only chance I get is when walking our dog, as I'm always working on the computer. Matthew is having problems with his internet connection at the moment, wouldn't you know it, otherwise he would have said hello too. Have you had a go at our free mini-course yet?

About Me:
I have been in Spain for the last two years, but live in an English speaking area so have been lazy about learing Spanish . I now feel I am missing out on a lot but being unable to communicate with the Spanish people
