Hi and thanks
I have updated all three entries.
I somehow created a hybrid between serviette and la servilleta to produce servillette which I have now corrected.
I missed the accent on freír but have now corrected.
los gemelos - I have added 2 new audios and removed the original male audio - I hope they sound better.

Many Thanks
Lar

Intermediate Spanish Tenses: L24: ¿adonde estaba él yendo?

Could you add an accent to the adonde please?

By the way, thanks for the course. It’s been very useful.

Many thanks

Hi Lar,

About Basic to Intermediate Spanish

level 23
la carne de res - beef
is this not the Latin-American word?

level 25
la natacción - swimming
la natación

65

Thanks Duaal,

Yes I have changed both.
Beef is now the Spain version ‘la carne de vaca’ ( but still accepts ‘la carne de res’ as a hidden alt)
‘la natación’ has been corrected.
I have also added new audios for both

Many Thanks
Lar

I have just opened 2 incomplete courses that i am working on.

The first course is complete but i am adding better audios.
The second course is incomplete ( no audios) after level 8 , but i am currently adding these.
I have opened these because of the recent changes announced by Memrise concerning community courses.

67

Duolingo Phrases Part 2 is now complete with audio up to level 17.

Hello LarBoylan, I have a request for you. Do you mind if I use your courses as a template to build a course for another language? I really like how your courses are structured and, since I’m working alone, it would save me a lot of time

69

Of course you can use any of my courses as a template.
Good luck with your courses.
