Randy:
muchas Gracis senorita! this is one of the best Spanish lessons I have seen. I am learning Spanish and it was a great help to me. I know many Spanish words and can read very good. My hearing (understanding) is not good so I need something like this lesson. I can also speak with more confidence and pronounce the Spanish words better, so now Spanish people can understand what I am saying. Please continue, I look for the next lesson. Thanks you, Laura, you are a very good teacher. Randy
