Hey, Tina! How's the Spanish course going?
Tough. Our teacher is using a lot of authentic material. You know, stuff off the radio and TV, he even tapes conversations with his friends and uses them in class.
So what are some of the things that make it difficult?
Well, the speed for a start.
What do you mean?

Maybe you shouldn't try?
What do you mean?
Well, maybe you should just listen to the keywords. You know, the most important words.
But how do I know what they are?
