True, always a great way for input. Not only you get text with explanations, you also have the audio.

By the way, it’s http://www.spanishnewsbites.com, with .com ;-).

Peter: This may look like a plug, but it could be of real use to you – we have a site called Spanish NewsBites (http://www.spanishnewsbites), where the idea is you read and study a small bite of Spanish every day or two. If you’re pressed for time for your Spanish study, please do pay us a visit. I know that Ramses has found us of use.

@Ramses: I’ve been having trouble finding music that I like. I may have found something recently but I haven’t really checked it out yet. It’s definitely on my list of things to do.

Good to see that you’re back on track, Peter. One more tip: if you don’t have time because you need to do other things, but still can listen music: listen Spanish music.

At this moment about 7 hours of my everyday immersion is music.
