Reflections of a language learner #2

This post on my Spanish learning exploits is mainly in the form of a podcast that I recorded onto my mobile phone almost directly after the class. I recorded it as a note in Evernote and then uploaded it to my computer, where I imported it to Garageband, faffed around a little a made myself a little podcast. As I'd never made the attempt to use Garageband before that was a good learning experience as well!

A quick update on general information:

Anyone reading the first post in this series here, will know about the teacher and the students in the first class. The lesson I talk about in the podcast is the fourth out of a total on ten.

In the class there are now only 3 students, myself, the Polish girl who attended the first class and another British student. The Chinese students dropped down to elementary after the first week's diagnostic test.

The last two classes were fairly heavy grammar lessons, focussing on the pretérito indefinido and the pretérito imperfecto. Both feature lots of conjugations and irregularities, but we were exposed to all of these things at once.

Ok, here's the podcast, I hope you find it interesting. As always, I welcome your comments below!
