I just published my first dialogue which focuses on a medical topic in the news. Patients are always asking questions about things they read and hear in the news. Y a veces.... it's difficult to answer them in English, let alone in Spanish! So after reading the paper this morning I sat down and made up a dialogue,  and with the help of Catalina Rodriguez, my tutor from NuLengua, I was able to get it ready by tonight. I hope you enjoy. And if you are a beginner, don't worry we will cover the translation in future episodes.

Finally the wheels are turning again in the Spanish Grammar series. I just posted the end of a 3 part series on stem-changing verbs in the present subjunctive:

Stem Changing Verbs (e - i) in the Subjunctive 

In response to listeners' requests in the forum, next we will practice the Imperfect Subjunctive, Reflexive Verbs, Placement of Adjectives, and the Impersonal "Se." These last two will be particularly useful for medical speech. You can leave YOUR requests/ideas here:
