Do you have any regrets in life?!

[Jules]

Pleased to see the new workshop multipacks. A good way to catch up as I had fallen behind.

[Edith]

What I really enjoyed about this podcast were the verb conjugations. ('If I had done this, I would...') Great practicing material! :)

As far as regrets are concerned... like Marina, I wish I would have studied something more practical.

Everyone who speaks a foreign language seems to have his own particular stumbling block. I've got no problem with saying 'arrepentirse' or 'arrepentimiento' but the word 'ajedrez' drives me up the wall. I just can't say 'dr' with a rolling r as in ajedrez! >:D Grrr!

[Ben]

I have big trouble with the words 'ejercito' and 'ejercicio' too!

[Edith]

Ejercicio, yes, that's another tongue-breaker for me too!

[guapo]

Ejercicio, yes, that's another tongue-breaker for me too!
even worse is ejercicio fácil - anything but easy!

[Diana]

Really a great (and fun) podcast for practicing grammar and pronunciation. I have been repeating the word "arrepentimientos" out loud all day. Whew!

If we can say that in public, native speakers of Spanish will surely be impressed! :D

For some reason, neither my iTunes nor my browser is able to download the mp3 file. Anybody else having this problem?

Can we double-check the link or check that the mp3 file is there? Thanks!

Just downloaded it here Brian, without any problems.

[Brian]

It must be my iTunes, then. I still can't download the thing on my home pc.

Listened to it at work- poor Ben, having a go at it with the hard words. I'm with you, man.

As for me, I have few regrets. I've always tried to pursue what my heart desires, and I've been satisfied with the choices I've made in life.

So far.

;D

Nice to hear this, Brian. I feel the same way now. About 15 years ago I regretted not having studied Psychology instead of German and English. For this reason, I went back to university and got a degree in Psychology. And what am I doing now? I am happily back to languages - learning Spanish and translating and correcting English manuscripts for the Psychology Department (and waiting for our next grandchild in Chile due any day now).
