Direct Object Pronouns

Here are a few lessons explaining direct object pronouns. These are used to replace the direct object in a sentence. It helps to avoid repetition of the noun, Example, "I have a book, I will read the book" vs "I have a book, I will read it"

Special Treat (maybe, maybe not)

OK, I have been at this blog for a few months now, and I have kept it pretty non-personal (in a way) but if anyone knows me, you will know that my primary passion is music. I have a band called Delay the End and we performed last Friday night 3/22/2013 and thought as a special post I would post the performance. We actually performed at the school that I teach at, Redlands East Valley High School in Redlands California. Another reason why I wanted to post is to also promote a couple of talented young musicians. On guitar is a kid named Heinrich Wolfgramm and his sister Isabella is on bass. They are extremely talented kids and play in a band called Wolfgramm the band. Their father was in the 80's pop band the Jets and is a friend of mine. Enjoy and don't worry I will post some Spanish lessons again!!!! Thanks for allowing me this little plug.

Preterite vs Imperfect when telling a story

First, it has been some time. I was on spring break and spent my days remodeling a bathroom (as if you cared!!!) be ready for the lesson on plumbing and tiling (not). This lesson was actually filmed a year ago, and there is a mistake in the lesson. When I say I stepped on a raccoon in Spanish, I should have omitted the word "en" in the example. This is a phenomenon called "language transfer" when grammar or vocabulary from one language accidentally "spills over" into another language. So hey, you get 2 lessons in 1 today!!! I will make sure to bill you for 2!
