Transvestite anti climax!!!

There I was expecting some outrageous Bueno, entonces story about a transvestite or multiple for that matter but all that occurred was a brief altercation in the bank. Must admit that I had hoped for some sort of late night comical case of mistaken identity, but probably for the best, especially for David. However should one be interested, or find yourself strolling or driving through Palermo Woods, then such ladies of the night can be quite openly found anytime after sunset, and am sure will be more than happy to assist in the your efforts to learn Spanish and converse with them.

The rest of this class, numero veintidos (22), went by far too quickly for me, and although I managed to get the gist of all things covered, feel that for some the pace may be too fast, particularly if you are also trying to read the translations provided. Nevertheless the content was again useful with some new verbs learnt/taught like; pagar (to pay) and cobrar (to receive), ahorrar (to save) and gastar (to spend). These are especially useful when you are having to run tramites (errands), most commonly in the banks, cambio and supermarkets.

The present progressive tense was also brought up today and fortunately it’s another simple one to master. Whereas in English we take the verb and add ing, the Spanish version takes the verb and adds either ando (AR verbs) and iendo (IR/ER verbs). There are of course exceptions with irregular verbs which have to be learnt, but its only a matter of practice.....and with a little extra study on top of Bueno, entonces, and not Rosetta Stone as far too expensive, you’ll learn Spanish in no time.....he says!!!
