Coffee Break Spanish 1 & 2

I downloaded this series a while ago from iTune...I listened to the first 2 episodes to revise and consolidate.

The first lesson was all about saying hello...ok, hola, ¿qué tal?

The second lesson was about introducing myself...

The iTune version is free, so there are not a lot of vocabulary or phrases, and the two hosts kind of keep talking, so it was not as much fun. It was more of a drilling type. I do like Mi Vida Loca much better. Will go back to that program tomorrow.

I think I am going to watch that high school program again...to catch more words :), buenas noches!
