Estudio el idioma ahora con el Instituto de Cervantes en Dublin, Irlanda. Quiero poder ensenar espanol a los ninos porque mucha gente no entiende que espanol es entre las tres mas importante lenguas en el mundo. Estaba buscando unos sitios a traves del web y este me parece muy util para el estudio de mi idioma preferido. Para mi, la gramatica sobre todo , el subjunctivo, es muy dificil y es mejor ir a Espana para practicar con los espanoles. Ahora tengo ganas de escuchar los 'podcasts'. Saludos de Irlanda.

Happy to be of service! Only thing I feel bad about is that Martin Ventola's web site is no longer operational. However his Spanish pronunciation advice is still sound and valid. Un saludo, Eleena Hi Ron,

Lately I've been working on my reading (out loud) and pronounciation (especially stress in words) skills with a speaking partner, using Skype.

My Spanish teachers never focused on difficult sounds for English-speakers -- instead, they focused on creating and maintaining a "formula" for grammar, conjugations, and especially the subjunctive. Fortunately, when I studied in Spain, the classes were so much more fun because we all knew the rules and grammar quite well, but our instructors always focused on oral Spanish skills...the classes were always filled with games and activities, and it made practicing the language a gradual learning process. Now that I have been using these Spanish podcasts, my pronunciation is getting much better, so thank you!

This is found in parts of Spain (in the south and in the Canaries) as well as the River Plate region and the Caribbean, for example.
