New Lesson

False Cognates
Words that look alike don't necessary mean the same thing - be aware of these 5 new false cognates: salario/salary, once, destituido/destitute, educado/educated, and emocionante/emotional.

Discusión

Improve listening comprehension
I have a problem with listening comprehension in Spanish. I can understand some native speakers, such as Spaniards and Argentines, but not others, who I feel speak very fast, with the words joined together with no pause. What suggestions do you have to overcome this problem?
