If you'd like to get really expert on these words and phrases, why not go back and listen to the Interactive Audio lesson one more time, or practice with the flashcards? Here are the links in case you've lost them.

Glad to see you're keeping with the program. You can't learn Spanish by wishing; you HAVE to practice! Although learning a new language is difficult, it opens up such a window of opportunity that you really can't let it pass you by.

Talk with you again soon!
