A Note From Larry

Hola,

Thank you everyone for all of your positive feedback.

My friend, Izzy from Izzy Video and Glimpster, and I have had a very busy summer. As many of you know, Izzy produces Rolling R’s. He films, edits, renders and posts all the episodes. Along with his family obligations and other projects, Izzy works long hours at his regular profession — a career that carries much responsibility.

As for me, I earn my wages as public junior high Spanish teacher, and career-wise, it’s my first love. This summer, other than a short vacation to Mexico, I have been catching up on things that I can’t find the time to do during the regular school year.

Additionally, I have just returned from a Spanish Immersion Program in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. During the day, I studied advanced grammar, literature and Mexican culture at a private university.

At night, I stayed with a local family. On the weekends, I visited various archeological sites and museums. I did this program through my school district in order to improve my Spanish, and to improve myself as a teacher.

This Rolling R’s project started out as a fun hobby for us. And we are thrilled that it is helping many of you learn the basics of Spanish. However, its popularity has caught us a little off guard.

Please be patient with us. Although we are not able to release as many shows as we would like, we are trying to do our best to continue offering these free lessons when we can.

We are hoping to post another episode this weekend. It will be a little different, because it was shot during a weekend that we spent in Puerto Peñasco. But it should be a good one. It deals with the irregular verb, “to go.”

So, thank you all for watching Rolling R’s.

Qúe les vaya bien

Larry Keim

PS
Also, a big thank you to Marcos from Spain for the correction on spelling the numbers from 21-29. He is correct. 21 through 29 are contractions. The concept and the pronunciation remain the same. Only 21 through 29 are contracted words. The spelling for 30 and up is correct as shown in the lesson. Thanks for the reminder, Marcos.
