Hi!

Pimsleur rocks. I'm about midway through the second set, and I think that they are a pretty painless way to pick up the language. I listen to a lesson daily during my worship sessions at the Temple of the Tilting Belt. The audios are about 30 minutes long, so I get to listen to about 15 minutes of rock and roll after it's finished. I listen to each lesson about 4 times before moving to the next one.

I was about halfway through the first set the last time that I was in SJ. I'm looking forward to using my improved communication skills on the next trip.

If you've got Limewire or some such thing, you can easily find the MP3 versions of all three sets - just to try them and see if you like them. If you do, head right out to Barnes and Noble and do the right thing.

I've also been getting extra Spanish practice via e-mails to SJ. Have yet to receive an RFM, though.

Can someone explain to me how to type Spanish characters on a standard PC keyboard? Does one use the "character map" feature in Control Panel, or what? Sorry for the dumb-ass question. Thanks in advance for informed replies.


Here is a web page that explains how to type the Spanish accents.
